The CBR is expected to hike the key rate by 100bps to 20%, with the recent surge in household inflation expectations and tightness in the labour market leaving the Bank little to no room to pause.
Meanwhile, early signs of slower price increases and more moderate economic activity data will likely limit the size of the hike to just 100bps.
As per a Bloomberg survey, 9 out of 13 analysts expect a 100bp hike to be delivered (2 expect no change and 2 expect a larger hike).

NOK: USDNOK Pierces Key June 4 Support
Sep-24 10:10
USDNOK has pierced key support at 10.4354 (Jun 4 low), as the krone finds support from China stimulus-driven bids in equities and crude oil. Today’s price action extends the latest leg of NOK strength following last week’s Norges Bank decision.
USDNOK has fallen ~4.5% from the Sep 11 high, and a sustained breach of the Jun 4 support would strengthen a bearish theme.
This would expose trendline support drawn from the December 2022 low.
EURNOK has similarly tested the Aug 30 low at 11.6133, currently 0.35% lower today.
Domestic developments take somewhat of a backseat this week following last Thursday’s Norges Bank decision, where the rate path/guidance re-affirmed that rates were likely to stay on hold until early 2025.
Unemployment data is due on Thursday and Friday this week, but these are not usually market movers.
This will leave NOK crosses sensitive to movements in global risk sentiment and US data, including Friday’s PCE report.
