Norway inflation still too high and NOK still too weak

BUZZ-COMMENT-Norway inflation still too high and NOK still too weak June 10 (Reuters) - Norwegian inflation is falling and the crown is off its lows but those looking for a Norges Bank rate cut this year are likely to be disappointed. Norway's fundamental backdrop argues the case for steady monetary policy with rate cuts only likely to be seen in 2025 and even then, the scope for rate moves could be limited.

Norway inflation eases but don't expect rate cuts

BUZZ-COMMENT-Norway inflation eases but don't expect rate cuts May 10 (Reuters) - Norwegian April inflation numbers are softer then the Norges Bank expected but there remains a wide margin over the central bank's 2.0% target and, as such, rate cuts are unlikely this year. Core CPI at 4.4% year-on-year is below the Norges Bank's 4.5% estimate but above the Reuters consensus forecast of 4.3%.

Viking cross could prove attractive for NOK bulls

BUZZ-COMMENT-Viking cross could prove attractive for NOK bulls May 3 (Reuters) - A better look to the Norwegian crown Friday, helped by a steady Norges Bank hand and expectations of a Riksbank rate cut, has made the divergence play versus the SEK more attractive. The only surprise from today's Norges Bank rate decision and accompanying rhetoric was the degree of hawkishness and the higher for longer hints, pointing to rates being held beyond September.

Norway's crown likely to shrug off inflation drop

BUZZ-COMMENT-Norway's crown likely to shrug off inflation drop April 10 (Reuters) - Softer than expected Norway inflation numbers have jolted the NOK's bull run but the data is unlikely to alter the higher-for-longer rate stance at the Norges bank and, as such, the crown could quickly resume its push higher. March core inflation, at 4.5% yr/yr, was below the Reuters poll consensus and the central bank call of 4.7% yr/yr.

Norwegian crown is making its move

BUZZ-COMMENT-Norwegian crown is making its move April 8 (Reuters) - Technical and fundamental stars are aligned for the crown and a deeper drop in EUR/NOK is on the cards.

The EUR has already staged a minimum correction of the 11.1360-11.7840 climb and the next Fibonacci retracement level of that move, 38.2%, is at 11.5365. Major support is at 11.5635, the w
