SNB Rate Decision, explained.
The SNB's decision on its policy rate, plus any comments on currency intervention.
Why it moves markets
The franc is often treated as a safe haven; SNB comments about intervening in currency markets can move it as much as the rate itself.
Who publishes it, and when
Swiss National Bank. Quarterly, 9:30am Zurich time.
Pairs that often react
USD/CHFEUR/CHF
Pairs that include the currency involved usually react most. How much and in which direction depends on the surprise against expectations and on everything else going on. This isn't a prediction.
Educational only. Not advice and not a signal. Spreads often widen and prices can gap around big releases.
