The Swiss franc weakened against other major currencies in the
European session on Monday amid risk appetite, as investors
welcomed stimulus measures in China to support the country's
property sector and pondered the outlook for rates.
European sovereign bond yields edged up after ECB Governing
Council member Martins Kazaks indicated in a Bloomberg Adria
interview that June seems the right moment to start lowering
borrowing costs, but future moves will be largely determined by
incoming data.
He emphasized that any reduction in rates should be "cautious"
and "gradual," and that the process should not be rushed.
Separately, ECB executive board member Isabel Schnabel also
warned against back-to-back interest-rate cuts in June and
July.
"Based on current data, a rate cut in July does not seem
warranted as there is a risk of easing prematurely," she told the
Nikkei newspaper.
Elsewhere, U.S. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said on Friday that
she has seen no progress in inflation this year and remains willing
to hike rates should progress stall or reverse.
In the Asian trading today, the Swiss franc held steady against
