Norges Bank hikes and keeps guidance hawkish
The desk views the Norges Bank's recent 25 basis point hike to 4.25% as a clear signal of its commitment to combating inflation, which is now seen as a broader concern beyond geopolitical tensions. Per the full note from ing-think, while a hold is anticipated in June, the central bank's hawkish guidance suggests the possibility of another rate increase by year-end. This aligns with our bearish outlook on EUR/NOK, as we expect the krone to strengthen against the euro in the coming months. The current consensus among firms indicates a target range for EUR/NOK that supports this view, with no immediate calendar events expected to disrupt this trajectory.
