Key Quotes
“In Norway, the oil price collapse is putting pressure on the NOK. Indeed, it is remarkable that EUR/NOK topside has held for now with disappointing inflation/mainland GDP (even if both were down to temporary factors) and a USD5/bbl collapse in oil”.
“If we do not see a stabilisation in oil prices soon though, we are likely to see the cross break higher. We recommend utilising drops in NOK this side of New Year to add exposure from a 2019 perspective”.
