Key Quotes
“EUR/SEK rallied towards 9.66 on the announcement, as expectations of a possibly more hawkish governor being appointed were removed. Near-term SEK appreciation may be slower, but we do not view this as a game changer for SEK.”
“We do not think the extension of Governor Ingves’ term is a game changer for SEK. The market’s pricing for Riksbank normalisation is not hugely at odds with the Riksbank’s own forecasts, particularly on policy expectations on a two-year horizon. As a result, a continuation of Mr. Ingves’ term as Governor (consistent with current forecasts) should not be a significant shock to the market. We believe arguments for SEK outperformance remain intact.”
