After pushing through the April 12 high at 1.0020, NOKSEK trades at its highest in four months and now eyes clustered resistance at 1.0066 (Jan 29 high) and 1.0073 (trendline drawn from the August 2022 high).
Today’s moves have nonetheless been modest, with the cross 0.3% firmer at typing. A reminder that Q1 GDP is due on Thursday, with current mainland GDP consensus at 0.2% Q/Q (vs Norges Bank March MPR projection of 0.0%). However, it is unlikely to have meaningful sway on the Norges Bank, whose focus remains on inflation, wages and the NOK.
