Inflation Expectations Stay Anchored

SWEDEN

Money market participants’ Swedish inflation expectations saw declines over the 1Y and 2Y horizons in the Prospera October survey.

  • For CPIF, 1Y expectations now sit at 2.7% Y/Y (vs 3.1% prior), 2Y expectations came in at 2.1% (vs 2.4% prior) while 5Y expectations were steady at 2.1%.
  • The Riksbank recently noted that it has been pleased that inflation expectations have remained well-anchored, and today's data continues to build further on this narrative (although note that as this is not a quarterly survey it only reflects money market participants.
  • Participants' expectations for GDP were slightly higher (1Y-ahead growth -0.1% vs -0.3% prior, 2Y 1.4% vs 1.3% prior) while the SEK is expected to strengthen against the EUR and USD in the next 3 months.
  • Elsewhere, the unemployment claims rate was steady at 3.2%, though this is not the Riksbank's preferred measure of unemployment.
  • The SEK is broadly flat against the G10 this morning and did not react meaningfully to the data.
