Riksbank Still Likely to Keep Rates Unchanged This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-19

1104 GMT - The Riksbank will most likely keep its key policy rate unchanged through 2026, SEB stategists Amanda Sundstrom and Olle Holmgren write. The central bank has emphasised the high level of uncertainty and readiness to act if needed. It also presented two alternative scenarios and implications from the Middle East conflict. This illustrates that changes to the policy rate may be needed if the global situation changes, the strategists say. SEB had expected the Riksbank to remove from its rate path the small probability for a hike in the fourth-quarter this year. However, it remains in place. "This should not be a major market mover in this environment," the strategists say. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
