Reaches New 3-Month High

NOK

EURNOK has sustained yesterday's rally above the 11.60 handle to reach a 3-month high, as a weaker fixed income backdrop pressures sentiment.

  • EURNOK had traded between 11.40-11.60 since mid-August (with the exception of 4 trading days in late September on the back of strong Brent prices), and so markets will eye if the latest break can be sustained. The next upside level seen is the July 6 high at 11.7770.
  • Overall, Scandis are a touch cheaper against the G10 this morning, with NOKSEK remaining just below parity - tomorrow's labour market data from Sweden could provide some direction but global flows will be the main expected price drivers.
  • This morning saw the Norway Q3 Business Tendency Survey released, where the contractionary -2.2 print (vs -5.1 prior) masked large sectoral differences between capital goods (aided by new field developments in the oil/gas sector) and consumer/intermediate goods.
