RIKSBANK: Dovish Tilt In Guidance, But In Line With Expectations

RIKSBANK

Riksbank cuts rates by 25bps to 3.50% as unanimously expected. 

Highlights from the policy statement:

  • Riksbank opens the door to cuts at each of the three remaining meetings this year (as we had expected): “If the inflation outlook remains the same, the policy rate can be cut two or three more times this year”
  • “Various indicators, such as producer prices and company pricing plans, have continued to imply that inflationary pressures are compatible with the target”.
  • “The growth outlook in Sweden and abroad is somewhat weaker than in the most recently published forecast”.
