Riksbank Stands Ready to Act Amid Middle East Conflict -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-19 18:19

1019 GMT - The Riksbank held rates and left its rate path unchanged but stands ready to act if necessary. The central bank is expected to keep its rate unchanged for some time, while developments in the Middle East call for vigilance. "The bank is taking a wait-and-see stance amid the increased uncertainty," Nordea chief analyst Torbjorn Isaksson writes. A rate cut is "off the table for now" and rate hikes are possible if energy prices take off. However, it's important to remember that Swedish inflationary pressure is currently low, Isaksson says. Energy prices therefore need to rise markedly before inflation becomes uncomfortably high. "We keep our forecast that the Riksbank will stay on hold at 1.75% throughout 2026," he says.
