Inflation is expected to decline in February, Handelsbanken, among others, predicts. Developments in the Middle East are expected to have limited effects - even if the price of oil has risen.
BusinessInflation is expected to have fallen significantly in November. The next move from the Riksbank is now an interest rate hike rather than a cut, according to Handelsbanken.
BusinessInflation as measured by the CPIF was unchanged in October at 3.1 percent, according to preliminary figures from Statistics Sweden (SCB). This was higher than expected. Analysts had expected an average of 2.9 percent, according to Bloomberg.
BusinessInflation is now rising unexpectedly much. The consequence: an interest rate cut from the Central Bank is seen as very distant, according to analysts. Instead, there is a certain risk of interest rate hikes.
