Nordea Expect No Strong Signals From Norges Bank For Now

NORGES BANK
  • Nordea do not expect any strong signals from the central bank now as they will wait until September. Market reactions will be muted.
  • Overall, they expect that the Committee will reiterate their message from June; that "the policy rate will most likely remain at today's level for some time ahead".
  • They write that if the Norges Bank were to compute a new rate path now, Nordea think they would have made only minor changes, which would be small and not significant enough for the Bank to change its view from June.
  • A pick-up of new corona cases during the last few weeks, both in Norway and among out main trading partners, highlight the uncertainty. They see the Norges Bank emphasising this in their assessment.
