Key quotes
"Danmarks Nationalbank (DN) has just published October's FX reserve data and central bank balance sheet data. In October, the FX reserve declined DKK2.3bn to DKK443bn. The decline was partly due to FX intervention. DN sold DKK0.4bn in FX reserves due to intervention."
"The DKK0.4bn in FX intervention marks the first time since January that DN has intervened in FX markets. EUR/DKK traded above 7.4700 and thus close to record-high levels during a large part of October, which prompted the action from DN."
"It could spur speculation about an independent DN policy rate hike. While that is justified, we think it still some time away as DN has ample room to draw down the FX reserve to manage the peg - we estimate about DKK40bn."
