SCANDIS: NOKSEK Eyes A Close Above Key 50-day EMA

SCANDIS

NOKSEK (+0.3%) trades just above the 50-day EMA, an average the cross has not closed above since July 9. Therefore, a close above today would be a bullish technical development and signal scope for a stronger recovery towards 0.9842, the Aug 16 high.

  • Wednesday’s Riksbank decision headlines this week’s Scandinavian calendar, and a 25bp rate cut is unanimously expected. Our preview is here.
  • Although we don’t expect the Riksbank to cut rates as aggressively as implied by market pricing in 2025, there is still scope for further dovish repricing – and associated SEK weakness – if the Riksbank opens the door to 50bp cuts at its November or December meetings in its guidance/updated rate path.
  • However, should the guidance disappoint doves and cement a 25bp cutting pace as the Executive Board’s base case, it may undermine the recent recovery in NOKSEK.
