Key Quotes
“FX markets are eyeing central bank decisions in Sweden and Norway on Thursday”.
“The weakening of the SEK has given the Riksbank a bit of room to manoeuvre in the short term. We expect EUR/SEK to remain within the 9.68-9.72 boundaries near-term but to break from this range on the Riksbank announcement on Thursday. Risks are in our view asymmetrically skewed to the upside on the announcement in the sense that a QE extension would drive a larger reaction than if the Riksbank were to stay put”.
“If we are right in our call on Norges Bank, EUR/NOK is unlikely to move much on Thursday’s announcement. As a result, we think the EUR/NOK price action is likely to be that of an initial dip following the announcement followed by a rebound to unchanged levels. While downside momentum has been strong over the last month, we still expect EUR/NOK to correct higher before year-end”.
