Key Quotes
“In the Scandies, the past two days rise in EUR/NOK and EUR/SEK have been the largest in more than a year”.
“The stabilisation in overall risk sentiment in financial markets yesterday in the meantime put a halt on further deterioration in NOK and SEK sentiment, which indicates that the selloff in NOK and SEK is likely due to a perfect storm of idiosyncratic factors; hence, Swedish property market woes, sour global risk sentiment and thin liquidity late in the year”.
“We stress that technically we are in uncharted territory following the recent spike – noticeable levels to keep an eye on are 10.08 for EUR/SEK and 9.89 for EUR/NOK. Furthermore, we note that it will be about two weeks before there are tier-1 data releases in the calendar in both Sweden and Norway”.
