Key Quotes
“EUR/CHF bounced sharply after SNB’s Thomas Moser said that the central bank would be open to negative rates”.
“The SNB meets on 18 September. We believe that the central bank will keep interest rates unchanged at that meeting but viciously defend the EUR/CHF lower band ahead of 1.20”.
“If we are right, this should trigger some retracement in EUR/CHF following the SNB meeting”.
