RIKSBANK: SEB Forecast 50bp Cut In November

RIKSBANK

SEB expect that “falling inflation expectations will increase the pressure on the Riksbank to move faster”, and now forecast a 50bp cut at the November policy decision (vs 25bp previously).

  • This brings their year-end policy rate forecast to 2.50% (vs 2.75% prior).
  • SEB also “expect the policy rate will reach 2.00% by March next year”.
  • They see the Riksbank lowering its rate path projection at the September meeting, with the new path indicating “another two rate cuts to 2.75% by the end of 2024” and a further “two rate cuts to 2.25% by May next year”.
