RUSSIA: MNI CBR Preview: October 2024

Oct-24 10:16
  • 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.
