Quick Glance: Swiss Inflation Reaches Lowest Point in Two Years and Six Months

Swiss inflation dropped to its lowest level in March, marking the lowest point in two and a half years and backing the Swiss National Bank's recent decision to cut interest rates.

In March 2024, consumer prices increased by 1%, the smallest rise since September 2021 and lower than the 1.2% seen in February.

Analysts predict that the SNB will lower rates in June to prevent the franc from appreciating.

The SNB will carefully monitor the inflation situation in May before making any decisions on interest rates in June.

Quick Glance: South African Rand Shows Strength Ahead of Interest Rate Decision

The value of the South African rand increased at the beginning of a week that will involve the central bank's decision on interest rates.

Observers await the South African Reserve Bank's interest rate announcement on Wednesday following a rise in inflation to 5.6% in February, approaching the upper limit of the central bank's preferred range of 3% to 6%.

Enhancing investor confidence through positive changes in local economic strategies could potentially lead to a recovery in the value of the local currency and the overall economic outlook.

South Africa's benchmark 2030 government bond remained unchanged in early transactions, yielding 10.425%.

reuters.com/world/uk/britains-co-op-bank-plans-400-layoffs-2024-03-26/

Quick Glance: Cost-Cutting Measures: Co-operative Bank to Slash 400 Jobs

The Co-operative Bank has announced plans to cut 400 positions to boost efficiency and reduce costs. This action is part of the lender's largest cost-cutting and restructuring programme since being rescued by hedge funds in 2017.

The layoffs will impact various areas of the business, including its 50 branches, aiming to decrease the workforce of 3,000 employees by approximately 12%.

These cuts signify a significant step as part of the bank's transformation plan following efforts over the past three years to simplify the lender and foster sustainable growth.

A potential agreement could lead to the ethical bank returning to member ownership and operating as a key player in the High Street with nearly 5 million customers.

reuters.com/business/finance/boj-ends-negative-rate-policy-2024-03-19/

Quick Glance: Fate of BOJ's Stimulus Tools Revealed

The Bank of Japan ended eight years of negative interest rates and other unorthodox measures to boost growth. Details on changes to the stimulating tools were disclosed.

The negative interest rate policy was lifted, and the bank now pays a 0.1% interest rate on excess reserves to withdraw money from the economy.

Yield curve control was dismantled, but the bank will continue to buy bonds and intervene with larger purchases if bond yields rise rapidly.

The purchase of risky assets like ETFs and REITs was discontinued, and the commitment to maintain massive stimulus was withdrawn to reassure the market.
