Fundamental view
The annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) in Switzerland probably rose 0.2% in June, after it gained 0.2% in May. In monthly terms, consumer prices probably gained 0.1% last month, following a 0.3% advance in May. In case the CPI accelerated more than anticipated, this would have a bullish effect on the franc. The official report is to be released at 7:15 GMT.
In addition, Retail Sales in the country probably jumped 1.5% in May compared to a year ago, following a 0.4% gain in the previous month.
The index measures the change in the value of sales made by retailers in the country. The amount of sales includes indirect taxes, but without discounts. Revenue from wholesale and the provision of those services are not included. The study includes 850 different business activities. Dealers of vehicles are also included, with the exception of those selling motorcycles. This is the percentage change compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.
The Federal Statistical Office will publish an official report at 07:15 GMT.
