    From frbsf.org

    Good afternoon. Thank you, Spence, for that kind introduction. It’s wonderful to be here today. I am honored to be speaking with a wide array of audiences—the participants of the 35th Annual Spencer Fox Eccles Convocation, members of the Utah Chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors, and members of the broader Salt Lake community. Thank you so much for having me. I last visited Utah back in April. The new Administration had begun to provide early details of its policy initiatives, and businesses, households, and communities were working hard to understand their impacts. Uncertainty was a common ... (full story)

Daly | Steady Through Change: In Policy, Business, and Life
• Centrist positioning, cements her as a neutral governor factionally going forwards; cautious, data dependant, Powell-esque.
• Main theme of speech was "steadiness"; explicitly rejected notion of "pre-set course" and instead stressed a "meeting-by-meeting" approach.
• Justified support for recent cut; "Growth, consumer spending, and the labour market had slowed", shows willingness to act on soft data.
• Dismissed inflation uptick as narrow & primarily driven by tariff-affected sectors; demonstrating willingness to look through noise.
• Door remains open for "further policy adjustments" stating that they'll be needed; declaring she is not in the "one-and-done" camp.
• Daly's speech strengthens Fed's hand, requires clear evidence of slowdown before she'll adopted an accelerated rate cutting view.
• Current base case requires Fed to be force to cut due to weak labour market; Fed however feels no such pressure to do so.
• Increases chance slightly of "soft landing" scenario if economy can withstand higher rates for longer without collapsing.

Swiss National Bank leaves SNB policy rate unchanged at 0%
From snb.ch | Sep 25, 2025 | 12 comments
The Swiss National Bank is leaving the SNB policy rate unchanged at 0%. Banks' sight deposits held at the SNB will be remunerated at the SNB policy rate up to a certain threshold. The discount for sight deposits above this threshold still stands at 0.25 percentage points. The SNB remains willing to be active in the foreign exchange market as necessary. Inflationary pressure is virtually unchanged compared to the previous quarter. Monetary policy helps to keep inflation within the range consistent with price stability and supports economic development. The SNB will continue to monitor the situation and adjust its monetary policy if necessary, in order to ensure price stability. Inflation has increased slightly since the last monetary policy assessment. It rose from -0.1% in May to 0.2% in August. This increase was mainly attributable to higher inflation in tourism and on imported goods. Inflationary pressure has barely changed compared to June. While inflation is likely to be slightly higher in the short term, in the medium term the conditional inflation forecast remains unchanged. The forecast is within the range of price stability over the entire forecast horizon (cf. chart). As in the previous quarter, it puts average annual inflation at 0.2% for 2025, 0.5% for 2026 and 0.7% for 2027 (cf. table). The forecast is based on the assumption that the SNB policy rate is 0% over the entire forecast horizon.
