SEK: EURSEK Briefly Registers Fresh Session Low
EURSEK briefly registers a fresh session low of 10.9707 before recovering, currently -0.25% today at 10.9791. Initial support is the Oct 7 low at 10.9392, clearance of which would expose the Sep 15 low at 10.9036.
- The krona has outperformed the G10 basket throughout today's relatively subdued session.
- This week’s Swedish data calendar is light, with only September PPI due on Friday.
- That will leave focus on Riksbank speakers, though we don’t expect any policy rate guidance changes. Data since the September decision has supported the case for the policy rate to remain at 1.75% for the foreseeable future. The whole Board will participate in a hearing at the Riksdag tomorrow, with Jansson and Thedéen scheduled to speak on Wednesday.
- Respondents to SEB’s SEK Views survey, released this morning, were “generally positive on SEK drivers going forward”, with “Swedish fiscal policy and the Fed’s monetary policy considered the most positive drivers”…. “Several respondents added comments saying that increased hedging needs and increased supply of Swedish assets, mainly government bonds, are likely to be positive for the SEK going forward".
- On positioning: “Participants’ own SEK positioning has decreased and is close to neutral, while the market is now perceived to be marginally overweight SEK for the first time since 2021.”

- SUP 4: 6427.00 Low Sep 2
Recent weakness in S&P E-Minis appears corrective - for now. Price has pierced support at the 50-day EMA, currently at 6615.80, but this support area remains intact - for now. Note that the Oct 10 low of 6540.25 marks the key short-term support. Clearance of this level would undermine a bull theme. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. The bull trigger is 6812.25, the Oct 9 high.
