SWEDEN
The main intrigue of tomorrow’s Swedish August CPI report is whether it would tempt the Riksbank into considering a 50bp cut at the September 25 meeting. CPIF-ex energy is expected to remain steady at 2.2% Y/Y, which would be in line with the Riksbank’s June MPR projection.
- We think a sub-2% core reading could be enough to sway some members of the Executive Board towards a 50bp cut (Anna Seim appeared somewhat open to the idea in an interview last weekend), but still wouldn’t be enough to generate an overall majority.
- A more notable deterioration of activity data than has currently been observed is probably needed to increase the pace of the (already aggressive) cutting cycle.
- Analysts generally expect regular seasonal patterns for several CPIF ex-energy categories on a monthly basis, with recreation/culture and food prices expected to fall, but clothing and footwear prices expected to rise.
- Headline inflation is expected at 1.4% Y/Y, 3 tenths below the Riksbank’s June MPR forecast. A pullback in electricity prices is the primary driver for this development.
