Bloomberg highlights the bump and what looks like a bid to keep EUR/CHF above 1.10. I don’t think SNB is going to make a strong stand at 1.10 but expect them to cushion any falls in the pair unless there is a big run on risk assets. SNB Sight Deposits...

There is little doubt that the Federal Reserve will ease monetary policy at the conclusion of the FOMC meeting on July 31. We never thought the chances of a 50 bp move were anything but negligible, though even at this late stage, the market appears to be pricing in about a one-in-five chance. Although a minority, and maybe worth a dissent or two (Rosengren? George?), we are sympathetic to those Fed officials that do not...

It’s only a confusing when you just accept the booming economy of the unemployment rate. From this perspective, 2018 was, and more so 2019 is, a downright conundrum.
