Reading The Swedish Markets

A lot of data is due to be released next week, such as trade balance figures (forecast 7bn surplus) and retail sales, where we think the y/y rate due to a temporary base effect will jump to 4%. Also, Q3 GDP will be released and we expect to see a 0.3% q/q increase.

We reduce our CPIF inflation forecast to the 1.2-1.5 range for 2014-15. Wage growth too has been undershooting expectations in the aftermath of the crisis.

In recent weeks, we have argued for a steeper 5/10 year curve with ‘lower for longer’ benefiting the 5s while upcoming tapering with higher 10-year treasuries will feed through to Swedish 10s. Judging by the latest FOMC minutes, this case may be in for a reality check in the not-too-distant future.

A rate cut is not far from being fully priced in but there is more potential left further out on the yield curve.
