Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant bull cycle. Initial firm support lies at 1.3670, the Mar 23 low.

SWEDEN: Rise In PMI Input Prices Underscore Need For Vigilance

Apr-07 06:45

"*SWEDEN MARCH SWEDBANK SERVICES PMI 55.7" Bloomberg

"*SWEDEN MARCH SWEDBANK COMPOSITE PMI 55.9" Bloomberg

Solid rebound in the Swedish March services PMI, with the index returning to expansionary territory after a disappointing February (55.7 vs 48.7 prior). The input price sub-index rose to 67.8 – the highest since August 2023. This follows a similar rise in the manufacturing PMI’s prices sub-index last week.

The increase in input prices underscores the Riksbank’s vigilant stance around second round/indirect inflation risks, but the Board will likely require corroboration from the Economic Tendency Indicator later this month before deciding whether to hike in May. As noted earlier, the Swedish economy’s starting point may argue in favour of a less aggressive overall tightening cycle relative to peers.
