Each week the Swiss National Bank publishes the total held by domestic banks — a number that rises sharply when the SNB is buying foreign currency to weaken the franc and falls when it is selling. This guide explains how to read the series, what thresholds matter, and how CHF traders combine it with FX reserves, the balance sheet, and the policy rate to build a complete intervention risk framework.

This article maps the transmission channels, the historical devaluation episodes, and the data signals that give traders early warning.
EUR Inflation vs. ECB Dovishness: The Disconnect
Eurozone headline inflation has bounced between 2% and 2.5% for most of 2025–2026, services prices remain stubbornly above 3.5%, yet the ECB has cut rates seven times and signalled more easing ahead.
