Time for the Norges Bank to relax its grip on the NOK
Nov 5 (Reuters) -Norway's central bank holds an interim meeting on Thursday, and despite a sticky inflation rate there might be scope for the bank to relax its hawkish stance and, like the Riksbank, shift its focus away from the crown and lean more towards Norwegian growth.
Weakness in the NOK since June has forced the Norges Bank to become a monetary policy outlier, maintaining a hawkish bias while other central banks have embarked on easing cycles. However, as interest rates abroad come lower the crown could begin to recover, or at least consolidate its losses. This scenario could exert downside pressure on the Norges Bank's rate path.
Norway inflation has come in slightly below expectations, but remains too high to allow a rate to cut this week. The key interest rate is expected to be held at a 14-year high of 4.5%. Analysts are looking to Q1 2025 for the first rate cut, but there is an outside chance of a December cut.
Weakness in the crown cannot be ignored, but the worst could be behind it and from a technical standpoint there might be scope for a decent recovery versus the euro.
EUR/NOK took a step lower following Friday's trend high Doji candle and a potential top could be in place at 11. A stronger NOK recovery would eye the daily Ichimoku cloud top, currently at 11.8685.
