Swedish Q4 GDP and retail sales due up.....>

EURO-SEK
EURO-SEK: Swedish Q4 GDP and retail sales due up at 830GMT. The Bloomberg
consensus for the Q/Q GDP is 0.6%, however this masks the disparity between
forecasters. And this is not a local vs foreign forecaster bias - Swedbank are
forecasting 0.2% Q/Q while SEB are forecasting 1.0% Q/Q. So it looks as though
there could be fireworks on the release today as someone is going to be wrong!
- There is some decent support for EURSEK around the 23.6% retracement of
10.1257-10.6319 at 10.5124 which could be challenged on a good print. Next
support would be around 10.4550 ahead of the 38.2% retracement at 10.4385.
- On a negative print, initially yesterday's high of 10.5781 would provide
resistance ahead of the Mon/Tues highs just below the 10.60 level. Above here we
see the YTD high of 10.6319.
