Key Issues for 2026

1.Manufacturing leverage to German spending
2.Riksbank nearing terminal rate
3.Rate sensitivity means housing recovery supports
4.Valuations attractive
5.Prefer NOK for yield but SEK for growth beta

Analysis Summary

SEK benefits from European recovery and rate sensitivity. Riksbank nearing terminal removes a headwind. Valuations cheap. Prefer NOK over SEK for yield advantage but both should appreciate meaningfully.
