SWEDEN: July Tendency Survey Generally Supportive Of August Riksbank Cut

Jul-30 09:45

The July Economic Tendency Indicator fell slightly to 95.0 (vs a one tenth upwardly revised 96.4 prior), led by declines in services and manufacturing sentiment. Combined with a slight fall in price plans and expected employees, the results support consensus expectations for a 25bp Riksbank rate cut on August 20.

  • This was a quarterly survey, featuring an expanded set of questions for businesses and consumers.
  • Overall expected prices fell slightly to 12 (vs 14 prior, in line with the long-run average), while expected employment nudged down to 5 (vs 6 prior, albeit still above the 2023 average).
  • Consumer confidence rose for the tenth consecutive month to 96.6 (vs 93.7 prior). The press release notes that “The share of households planning a car purchase in the next year increased relatively strongly” (which was one of the quarterly “special” questions).
  • Services confidence fell to 94.0 (vs 96.8 prior), on the back of demand weakness, though retail confidence rose back into the “expansionary” region at 101.8 (vs 99.0 prior).
  • Firm’s one-year ahead inflation expectations were steady at 1.5%, while firm’s assessments of profitability fell compared to Q1.
