Key Quotes

“EUR/NOK rose in late European trading amid Brent crude’s drop below USD 80/bbl”.

“Hence, the low 9.40s again proved a barrier for further NOK strength. Tomorrow will bring SSB’s quarterly business confidence indicator, which will be important for economists, but we doubt it will have much market impact”.

“Instead, the NOK tone will continue to be set from global risk appetite, the oil price and the SEK”.
