SWEDEN: VIEW: JP Morgan No Longer Expect March Riksbank Cut
SWEDEN
JP Morgan have removed a March Riksbank cut from their forecast, now expecting the next 25bp cut in May (previously saw 25bp cuts at both meetings).
- Although JPM “strongly doubt that the underlying inflation trend has suddenly changed dramatically” following today’s flash CPI data, they admit “the optics look bad”.
- “Despite various growth indicators recently moving in favor of our call of two more cuts, we remove the March cut from our forecast”.
- They suspect rents were one culprit behind the stronger-than-expected CPI print, alongside potential basket effects from the annual reweighting process.
