| Abstract Text | This paper analyzes high-frequency exchange rate movements of the euro Swiss franc exchange rate in response to monetary policy announcements by the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank. Thereby, the general e↵ect, the comparison between banks and di↵erent types of monetary policy (conventional/unconventional), and market efficiency are examined. The data show that announcements by the two central banks significantly impact the EUR/CHF exchange rate from 15 minutes before to 1 hour after the announcement, with the first minute after the announcement triggering the most significant reactions, which illustrates the high efficiency of the foreign exchange market. No significant di↵erences were found between the ECB and SNB announcements. Reactions to unconventional announcements have a higher standard deviation than conventional announcements and therefore have significant e↵ects more often. However, these are not detectable in a mean value observation. |
