According to the latest Reuters poll published on March 16, nearly all economists (28 out of 29) expect the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to keep its policy rate unchanged at 0.00% at the March 19 meeting. Despite very low inflation (0.1%) and a strong Swiss Franc, the consensus is that the SNB prefers to manage currency appreciation through foreign exchange intervention rather than returning to negative interest rates. The current Polymarket price for 'No Change' (~99c) fully reflects this consensus, perhaps even pricing out the tail risk too aggressively given the SNB's history of surprises. 'Decrease' (~1c) represents the minimal tail risk of a cut to fight deflation, which currently appears highly unlikely.

Hedging
USD/CHF
The Swiss National Bank's (SNB) decision has a direct and significant impact on the Swiss Franc (CHF) exchange rates. Unexpected decisions (e.g., a rate cut when 'no change' is priced in) can cause sharp volatility in USD/CHF and EUR/CHF (Score 4). While the CHF is a component of the DXY and often acts as a safe haven affecting Gold, the SNB's systemic shock value is generally lower than that of the Fed or ECB. Thus, the impact on DXY and Gold is primarily through FX cross-asset correlations (Score 2).
