Stock markets and the SEK − some details

Danske Bank A/S


Stock market implications for the SEK

-Global equity markets have indeed been a key driver behind the historic depreciation of the SEK as well as its recent rebound. At least two channels can be identified: risk sentiment (primarily foreign investors) and rebalancing flows (primarily Swedish assets managers).

-At this point we are inclined to characterize the rebound in equities as a bear market rally, but either way it will continue to have central implications for foreign exchange, not least the SEK. As a short-term tactical trade we are short EURSEK (see "Buy AUDJPY and sell EURSEK spot", 16 Mar).

- Our calculations suggest that within G10 the SEK, JPY and CHF have been the most susceptible to stock markets over the last few years. While EURJPY has lost some correlation recently, EURSEK is still to a large extent stock market driven (upper chart).

-SEK investors betting on direction in the stock market should be careful which SEK pair to sell or buy. It might be well known that the best strategy historically has been trading SEK vs CHF, with JPY and EUR as 2nd and 3rd choice. Last month's stock market correlation has increased in general and notably USDSEK is better correlated with S&P500 than all other G10 SEK crosses. NOK, GBP and AUD should be avoided
