Denmark: Election called with stable outlook – Nordea

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Nordea’s Group Chief Economist Helge J. Pedersen notes that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called a Danish parliamentary election for Tuesday, March 24. The current three-party government of the Social Democrats, Venstre and the Moderates is unlikely to remain unchanged. Pedersen highlights that the Danish economy is sound and sees little risk of major economic impact from the election.

Early election seen as economically benign

"Denmark is going to election. This is clear after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) just called a parliamentary election."

"Whether this will be enough to secure four more years in power for the Social Democrats, and if so with which partners, only time will tell."

"Few predict that the government will consist of the same three parties after the election."

"There is little risk that the election will have any major impact on the overall sound Danish economy."

"What is certain is that the Danes are facing three weeks of intense election campaigning."

GBP/USD retreats from multi-day highs around 1.3550

GBP/USD now gives away part of the earlier advance toward the 1.3550 region, or multi-week peaks, looking to consolidate around the 1.3530 region on Wednesday. Cable’s continuation of its march north follows the modest downside pressure on the Greenback after US CPI readings matched consensus in July.

EUR/USD eases from tops, back to 1.1550

EUR/USD now surrenders some gains and recedes toward the 1.1550 regio on Wednesday. Despite the knee-jerk, spot keeps the bid tone intact amid the offered stance in the US Dollar, all in the wake of in-line US inflation data in July. However, the fragile landscape in the Middle East is expected to put a floor to the occasional downward trend in the buck.

Gold challenges 10-week highs near $4,450

Gold now pushes harder and climbs to new two-month highs near $4,450 per troy ounce on Wednesday. The yellow metal’s solid performance comes on the back of a weaker US Dollar and declining US Treasuty yields across the curve as investors assess the latest US CPI data.

Ripple lags recovery as exchange reserves expand

Ripple is trading within a broadly constrained technical structure, with support at $1.00 and key moving averages limiting its recovery potential. In August, the remittance token declined by approximately 6.5%, extending its total pullback to around 14% from July's $1.18 peak.

911 million shares freed: Why SpaceX rallied into its own supply

The most heavily trailed supply event of the year landed on August 6, and the SpaceX (SPCX) stock went up. Roughly 911.5 million shares held by insiders and early backers became eligible to trade, around 43% more than the entire float sold at the listing.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
