Europe opens mostly lower as Swiss inflation slows

  • Switzerland's headline annual inflation dropped to zero in April 2025, according to data published by the Office fédéral de la statistique on May 5.
  • This zero inflation results from 18 months of negative imported inflation and a stronger Swiss franc that continues to exert downward price pressure.
  • Despite overall price stability, residential rents increased 3.2% and remain the main upward force, while food, energy, and transport prices declined notably.
  • Economists expect the Swiss National Bank to reduce its policy rate from 0.25% to 0% at its June 19 meeting to counteract deflation risks and franc strength.
  • The expected rate cut aims to prevent deflation and support the economy, though some experts warn that renewed negative rates may be necessary soon.
