A fragile reversal for Norway's crown

BUZZ-COMMENT-A fragile reversal for Norway's crown Sept 17 (Reuters) - A direction change is underway for NOK/SEK but the bullish reversal from the key 0.9500 support point lacks conviction and the market reaction to this Thursday's Norges Bank meeting could be pivotal. Not a classic trend reversal but back-to-back doji candles, Sept. 10-11, set the stage for a move higher and from a 0.9539 one-month low the Viking cross has removed a minimum correction level at 0.9606 and climbed above the 10-d

Looking for value in the Viking cross

BUZZ-COMMENT-Looking for value in the Viking cross Sept 13 (Reuters) - The decline in NOK/SEK since May's 2024 high of 1.0125 is nearing a key support point and, with interest rate differentials still favouring the NOK, a bullish opportunity may present itself in the coming sessions. Apart from a brief dip below the support level in December 2023, the 0.9500 support point has held the market since November 2020. A drop to 0.9505 in early August found bids and the subsequent rebound took the Viki

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.

Far less inflation to influence currencies in future

BUZZ-COMMENT-Far less inflation to influence currencies in future Sept 10 (Reuters) - There is less inflation to influence currencies in the future which will allow central banks to embark on much anticipated easing cycles. It will also relieve pressure on many currencies of nations dependent on energy imports that were severely impacted by the surge of inflation that resulted in a global tightening cycle.

Oil throws FX traders a lifeline ahead U.S. rate decision

BUZZ-COMMENT-Oil throws FX traders a lifeline ahead U.S. rate decision Sept 2 (Reuters) - Lower oil prices , which will make it easier for the U.S central bank to lower interest rates, may come to the rescue of FX traders who sold a lot of dollars only to see the currency rise as the September 18 rate decision approaches. The dollar index jumped from 100.51 to 101.79 at the end of August after its drop which fell short of last year's low at 99.55, and the 200-WMA at 100.33, became stretched belo

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.
