    The SNB did change up their forward guidance a little in removing the passage that "further rate cuts may be necessary" to just mentioning that they will monitor economic developments and adjust monetary policy accordingly.

    The ECB is up next but the decision should be a more straightforward one. So, don't expect much of any fireworks as the central bank will deliver a 25 bps rate cut and likely reaffirm its meeting by meeting approach.
