We believe the Riksbank will cut rates by 25bp in December. The Riksbank's three weeks' old inflation forecast was 0.4pp off the mark, and we find nothing that implies a return to its path when November numbers are published a couple of days before the monetary policy meeting.
This week business (BCI) and consumer (CCI) confidence surveys from the National Institute for Economic Research (NIER) are in focus in Sweden. We expect some moderation, since the PMI normally leads the BCI. Statistics Sweden will also publish the investment survey that will provide the last piece of data before the Q3 GDP data that will be released on 29 November.
Last week we presented in Strategy Sweden: Rate cut in December and low for long not fully priced yet a number of strategies that will benefit from an upcoming rate cut from the Riksbank. We also keep our outright negative short-term view on the SEK and we have a 1M forecast of 9.00 for EUR/SEK.
We also reiterate our positive view on NOK/SEK given the monetary policy outlook between Norway and Sweden.
We now see value in short EUR/NOK on a medium horizon and present a number of risk reversal strategies utilizing the attractive option market skew in EUR/NOK.
In Denmark we see value in Danish linkers.
