No USD or EUR Sold Between Xmas and NY As Expected

RIKSBANK

The Riksbank did not sell any USD or EUR in its 14th week of FX hedging (W/C 25/12 - 29/12). This compares to $110mln and E301mln last week. Overall, the Riksbank has now hedged around 83% and 61% of the $8bln and E2bln initially announced respectively.

  • This was as expected, given the low holiday-season liquidity.
  • Assuming USD sales restarted at the same pace in the first week of January (reported next week), the Riksbank remains on track to finish its USD hedging by around the beginning of February.
