EUR/SEK eyes on the Riskbank
Retail sales in Sweden expanded 3.1% on a yearly basis during May and 0.8% MoM, exceeding the median at 2.0% and 0.1%, respectively. These data reinforce the recent positive results in the Scandinavian economy ahead of the Riksbank monetary policy meeting in the upcoming week, with the chances of a rate cut now markedly lower.
EUR/SEK levels to watch
At the moment the pair is down 0.16% at 8.7676 with the next support at 8.6999 (low Jun.26) ahead of 8.6803 (50% 8.5500-8.8105) and then 8.6525 (MA30d). On the upside, a breakout of 8.9000 (high Jun.24) would open the door to 8.9945 (high Jun.8) and finally 9.0454 (high Jun.7).
