Sweden central bank gov Ingves in a post-decision chat with BBG 15 Feb

  • sees no big problem with govt bond liquidity
  • important that krona doesn't strengthen too rapidly
  • inflation to move sideways in coming months
  • FX mandate serves us well in an uncertain world
  • QE has worked well, much better than expected
  • by far not at the end of the road for stimulus if need be

Ok Donald. Add Sweden to your list of ccy manipulators.

Earlier today the CB left rates on hold but spoke in dovish tones and that led to a shove lower for the krona.

  • we have a lively political conversation in US
  • major changes to global trade policies could be an issue
  • fully possible to see scenarios that aren't good

    • We'll just add your name to the worried list then eh?

    USDSEK 8.9604 after the 8.9800 highs post-decision.
