Prospera Money Market Expectations Moderate Toward Target In January

SWEDEN

Swedish CPIF expectations amongst money market players moderated across the 1-,2- and 5-year horizons in the January Prospera survey. Inflation expectations continue to trend lower, and will not be a primary concern for the Riksbank at the upcoming Feb 1 decision.

  • NOKSEK was largely unmoved by the release given the continuation of trend.
  • 1-year ahead CPIF expectations fell considerably to 2.0% Y/Y (vs 2.4% in Dec '23), while 2-year and 5-year expectations also fell by 10bps each, to 1.9% Y/Y and 2.0% Y/Y respectively.
  • Money market players still do not forecast a Riksbank cut in the next 3-months (in line with current market pricing) but see the policy rate at 2.90% in 12-months' time (a little more than 4 25bp cuts from the current 4.00% policy rate level).
  • Annual GDP expectations moved a touch higher, but 1-year ahead expectations remain modest at +0.2% Y/Y (vs 0.0% prior). 2-/5-year expectations moved up 10bps to 1.8% Y/Y and 2.2% Y/Y respectively.
  • Expectations for the SEK saw minimal revisions - see the table below for a summary.
