The Swiss National Bank continued to refrain from significantly influencing the franc in the third quarter, even as the currency saw a rally triggered by geopolitical turmoil.

Switzerland’s central bank bought foreign exchange worth 728 million francs ($806 million) from July to September after even smaller purchases in the previous two quarters, according to data on Tuesday.
