NORGES BANK: Norges Bank unexpectedly trim the policy rate by 25bps. Some
sell-side analysts had seen a small chance of a rate cut, but none surveyed had
a rate cut as their base case forecast today.
Key parts of the release:
- Decision was unanimous.
- Downturn amplified by lower oil prices.
- Uncertainty is unusually high.
- Rates likely to remain at current level for some time.
EUR/NOK immediately kneejerks higher, hitting 11.1946 before pulling slightly
lower. Focus turns to press conference and macro projections due at
0930BST/0430ET.
