About Taxa de Inflação (CPI/HICP) (CHF)

Switzerland's headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the monthly change in the price level of a representative basket of consumer goods and services. It is the primary inflation measure monitored by the Swiss National Bank.

Why FX traders watch it

Central banks, including the Swiss National Bank, set policy rates in response to inflation. An above-target CPI print increases the probability of a rate hike, which is typically chf-positive, while below-target inflation raises rate-cut odds and can weaken the currency.

How to interpret the data

An inflation reading above consensus or above the Swiss National Bank's target band is hawkish and supports the chf. A downside surprise is dovish and tends to weigh on the currency, particularly when inflation has been trending lower for several months.
