EURNOK Currency Pair Forecast & Analysis

In today’s comprehensive EURNOK forecast, we will first examine Norway’s current economic conditions. Then, we will meticulously delve into the details of the EURNOK pair’s technical analysis.

Norway’s Monetary Policy Update

Bloomberg—On November 2nd, 2023, the Norges Bank, Norway’s central bank, decided to maintain its key policy rate at 4.25%, aligning with expectations. However, the bank hinted at a potential interest rate hike in December due to persistently high core inflation. The decision-makers at the bank observed that inflation had decreased more than anticipated and economic activity had not reached the projected levels. However, they also noted that the depreciation of the krone could help sustain inflation.

Governor Ida Wolden Bache stated, “Ahead of the monetary policy meeting in December, the Committee will have gathered more information about the inflation outlook. If the Committee gains more confidence that underlying inflation is decreasing, the policy rate may remain unchanged.”

In September, Norway’s inflation dropped to 3.3%. Meanwhile, the krone has weakened to its lowest level against the USD since March 2020. This complex economic landscape continues to shape the bank’s monetary policy decisions.
