Swedish retail sales were notably weak in May, falling 4.8% M/M SWDA after a 6 tenth upwardly revised 1.5% prior. Although not mentioned in the press release, we suspect some seasonal/calendar adjustment quirks may have been at play, with the Ascension Day holiday falling very late in the month in 2025 due to the late Easter. However, it was still the weakest May SWDA print in at least 10 years, and will support the dovish stance set out by the Riksbank Executive Board at its June decision.
WTI futures maintain a softer tone following the reversal from last Monday’s high. Support to watch is at the 50-day EMA, at $64.58.

On the upside, initial resistance to watch is $71.20, the 50.0% retracement of the Jun 23 - 24 high-low range. Key resistance is at $78.40, the Jun 23 high.
