SEK: Danske note that "the turn of the month, which also marks the end of Q2 and
H1, as usual puts the spotlight on potential rebalancing flows. While these tend
to be handled on a regular basis, any remaining need to adjust hedges favours
buying of the SEK. Foreign equities are up (barely) on the month, but more
clearly so on a quarterly basis (e.g. S&P +12% and Nasdaq +22% at the time of
writing), creating a need for Swedish investors to buy SEK. Swedish equities are
up as well, meaning that foreign investors should have a need to sell SEK. The
net effect, however, should be SEK-positive, as foreign equities have
outperformed their Swedish counterparts, but also as Swedish investors' foreign
holdings (~SEK5000bn) clearly outweigh foreigners' exposure to Swedish equities
(~SEK3000bn)."
