NOK bears could re-group ahead of the Norges Bank meet

BUZZ-COMMENT-NOK bears could re-group ahead of the Norges Bank meet Sept 11 (Reuters) - The Norwegian crown hit a new short-term trend low point versus the euro on Tuesday, but the subsequent recovery from 11.9940 to 11.9440 into the close could be the precursor to a deeper pullback in EUR/NOK. Widening interest rate differentials, in the NOK's favour, have done little to improve the currency's position, and a 3.25% depreciation since Aug.

Norway's crown, the rate cut spoiler

BUZZ-COMMENT-Norway's crown, the rate cut spoiler Aug 7 (Reuters) - Norwegian inflation has been falling since May 2023 but the Norges Bank has maintained a hawkish policy bias and there is a possibility that interest rates may be raised one last time because of weakness in the crown. Versus the EUR, the NOK is trading above its 2024 low point, 12.1320, and strongly above the May 2023 12.3020 low, a stand-out level since the COVID 13.2065 EUR/NOK peak.

Bullish on Norway's crown? Consider NOK/SEK plays

BUZZ-COMMENT-Bullish on Norway's crown? Consider NOK/SEK plays July 29 (Reuters) - Early indications suggest that Norway's crown could have a better week and possibly at the cost of a weaker Swedish crown. A steady climb in EUR/NOK since late June and sticky Norwegian inflation has forced the Norges Bank to maintain a hawkish stance, which has helped slow the crown's depreciation.

There could be a sharp shock coming for EUR/NOK

BUZZ-COMMENT-There could be a sharp shock coming for EUR/NOK July 24 (Reuters) - A fall in the oil price and possibly an overreaction to softer Norwegian inflation data has seen the crown weaken significantly versus the euro in recent weeks but the move is beginning to look overdone. From a technical perspective the steep upswing in EUR/NOK since the middle of June, a 6.5% gain, risks toppling over.
