EUR/NOK: 10.70 seen as the top end of a target range – Credit Suisse

In the view of economists at Credit Suisse, risk-reward to being outright bearish on NOK has deteriorated: they now target a EUR/NOK range between 10.20 and 10.70.

Lower end of EUR/NOK target range set at 10.20

“Market expectations ahead of tomorrow’s Norges Bank rate decision have shifted in a dovish direction in Dec, at the same time as soft US CPI data have cast a more constructive outlook for risk-sensitive currencies (such as NOK). This leaves us with a much less attractive risk-reward to being outright bearish on NOK.”

“We now see our previous EUR/NOK target of 10.70 as the top of a neutral short-term target range, with a lower bound just below the 1 Dec lows, at 10.20.”
