(RTTNews) - The monetary policy announcements from the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank are due on Thursday.

The SNB announces its quarterly monetary policy announcement at 3.30 am ET. The bank is forecast to cut its key rate by a quarter-point to zero percent as inflation turned negative.

The BoE is expected to retain its benchmark rate at 4.25 percent amid rising geopolitical tensions and inflation remaining persistently above the target. The announcement is due at 7.00 AM ET.
