RIKSBANK: Nordea's post-meeting Riksbank view:

- "The message from the Riksbank is a bit mixed but on the dovish side"

- "It was somewhat softer than expected as some policy rates were lowered. On

the other hand, a cut of the repo rate is increasingly unlikely."

- Note that the cut to some of the Riksbank's rates "could feed through to

markets rates, and may pull down STIBOR and mortgage rates somewhat."

- "The bank is perhaps a bit more optimistic than expected on the economy...but

the forecasts are reasonable, we think."

- Nordea maintains its view that rates will be on hold over the next year and

that "The main tool for the Riksbank is its balance sheet."
