The Riksbank should hike by 50 bps today, in line with expectations. Economists at ING think it is necessary to sound hawkish to help restore confidence in the Krona.
“We expect, in line with consensus, a 50 bps rate hike today. This outcome is fully priced in, but more uncertainty lies around the forward-looking tone and rate projections. Rate projections from November see a peak below 3%: we think today’s revision will take it to at least the 3.25-3.50% region.”
“We think a hawkish 50 bps hike by the Riksbank can prevent another leg higher in EUR/SEK: a primary goal is to create a cushion for the pair to the all-time March-2009 11.68 highs.”
“SEK is not lacking room for recovery (our base case is still for a drop below 11.00 in EUR/SEK by the summer). We doubt this will happen in the near term though, and despite a convincing hawkish message by the Riksbank today, restoring confidence in the Krona will require help from data.”
“EUR/SEK may trade around 11.20-11.40 in the coming weeks, and that should already be a welcome development for the Riksbank.”
