Consumer Confidence release read

The 2026-02-28 Consumer Confidence release printed 34.81. The previous reading was 34.94, while the forecast field is -30.8. Traders usually read this release against the recent trend, the Swiss National Bank policy bias, and the surprise versus consensus.

The forecast marker for this release is -30.8 from FXMacroData Blended Forecast. That gives the release a clean actual-versus-expected reference point instead of forcing readers to move between the old release article, the API docs page, and the country indicator history.

The parent Consumer Confidence page shows the full time series for Switzerland. This page narrows the record to the individual release, keeping the realised value, prior value, forecast field, announcement-date URL, and source payload together at one canonical URL.

For CHF event-risk work, the important read is whether this print changes the recent trend or simply extends it. Compare the actual value with the previous and forecast fields above, then use the raw JSON below for backtests keyed to the stable announcement ID.
