November Swiss retail sales rose a real 2.2%

Swiss retail sales rose a real 2.2% in November, showing that demand is still evident within the mountain economy. Unadjusted data posted a 1.7% increase on an annual basis, while the adjusted +2.2% does represent a slight fall from the +2.7% seen previously. The data isk slightly disappointing when looking at the headline but on the whole robust growth and demand continues to be the underlying theme.

Swiss retail sales were up 3.1% in December over the year in real terms, up from the +2.2% seen in the month previously. The data indicates sentiment within the domestic Swiss economy is steadily improving as consumers confidence returns. In 2005, the rise was 1.7% in real terms and this should help reinforce the view that the SNB will hike rates by 25bps at their next quarterly monetary policy review in March.

The data looks to have helped underpinned the Franc against the EUR following the CHF weakness noted this morning. Offers in EUR/CHF are now said to have emerged around 1.5620.

The headline reading of Swiss Retail Sales for February has helped the Franc level into early European trading. The increase of 0.4% was slightly higher than some had expected but in real terms with the previous reading up at +3.1% the data does not look all that impressive.

Swiss December retail sales up strongly

ZURICH (AFX) - Swiss retail sales rose a real or inflation-adjusted 0.8 pct year-on-year in December, but were up 9.2 pct when adjusted to the number of shopping days, the Swiss Federal Statistics Office said.

Sales were boosted by a particularly high demand for electronic goods, beauty products and furniture, the statistics office said.

For the full year 2006, retail sales were up 1.9 pct year-on-year or 2.9 pct when adjusted for shopping days.

SWISS: May Retail Sales +3.1% Y/Y (Unadj), +7.2% Y/Y

Swiss retail sales rose 3.1% Y/Y in May, however, when adjusted for the number of shopping days, sales were 7.2% higher than a year ago. The headline 3.1% reading comes against the expectations for a 4.8% rise but when you factor in the adjusted numbers the "real" data continues to highlight the robust state of the mountain economy.

Further Swiss economic indicators are set for release this week with trade balance data and producer and import prices both looked for to confirm the upbeat undertones to the local economy.
Looking ahead, we at IFR suggest that a duel SNB hike scenario remains the most likely outcome for the remainder of 2007. Two 25bp hikes should be looked for into H2 07 (one in Q3 in September and the other in Q4 in December) with an outside risk for a more aggressive 50bp move higher from Roth in Q3 should the CHF reversal of late fail to hold.

Swiss Retail Data Upbeat 

    Swiss retail sales data was positive for the CHF and this could alleviate some of the near-term bullish momentum on the charts. Swiss retail sales rose 5.1% on the year in June, when compared to a year-earlier, while the month on month data beat expectations to post a 1.0% rise. The Federal Statistics Office data is also adjusted for inflation and shopping days so this should give players looking for a further SNB rate hike a small boost.
