“This week board member Cecilia Skingsley reiterated her remarks from the most recent meeting minutes and thereby confirmed that she is not discontent with EUR/SEK recoiling from its highs close to 10.70.”

“Also this week’s early signs of stabilisation in the Swedish housing market indicated by the HOX/Valuegard figures were SEK positive. SEK is still roughly 1.5% weaker than anticipated by the Riksbank in April, indicating that EUR/SEK can drop to around 10.15 without any notable bearing for the Riksbank.”
