EURSEK to see choppy activity around the 10.90 level – Rabobank

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Since late October, the Swedish Krona has been recovering some ground versus the Euro. However, economists at Rabobank expect the EURSEK to remain choppy around the 10.90 mark.

Limited scope for a strong uptrend in the value of SEK vs. the EUR

“While a 75 bps rate hike from the Riksbank could bring some additional near-term support, the possibility that the market will be unwinding some of its rate hike expectations for 2023 suggests limited scope for a strong uptrend in the value of SEK vs. the EUR.”

“We expect to see some choppy activity around the 10.90 level on a one to three-month view.”

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England
