Swiss National Bank holds rates as expected, despite rising inflation

‌The Swiss ​National Bank kept its benchmark ‌interest rate on hold on Thursday, resisting pressure to ‌counter rising inflation caused ‌by war in the Middle East which has seen ⁠other ​central ⁠banks hike borrowing costs.

The ⁠SNB kept its policy ​rate at 0%, as ⁠forecast by all economists polled ⁠by ​Reuters, as well as markets, which ⁠gave a 94% probability for no ⁠change ⁠before the decision.
