EUR/NOK up despite oil gains, dovish NB weighs on NOK
EUR/NOK manages to leave behind Wednesday’s daily decline and regains upside traction, as investors continue to adjust to the somewhat dovish tilt in the Norges Bank.
Indeed, the Scandinavian central bank raised the policy rate by half point to 2.25% at its meeting earlier on Thursday, although it linked the prospects for extra rate hikes to the progress of inflation.
In fact, the Norges Bank reiterated that inflation remains well above the bank’s target, although some signs of cooling in the economy could morph into some deceleration of inflationary pressures. The bank sees rates at around 3% over the winter.
