Is the Riksbank's vigilance warranted?
June 26 (Reuters) -The Riksbank meets on Thursday and is widely expected to leave its benchmark rate unchanged at 3.75%. Vigilance over inflation is a key theme for Western European central banks but with the crown on the rise, anchored inflation expectations and a weak labour market, it could be argued that the Riksbank is being overcautious.
Vigilance at the Bank of England and European Central Bank and back-to-back rate cuts from the Swiss National Bank will have significant bearing on the Riksbank's position, along with stronger than expected Swedish inflation in May.
Recent gain consolidation versus the euro has blunted the crown's performance and slowed its recovery from early May's significant 11.7700 low.
However, the currency is in line with the Riksbank assessment and analysts point out that its trade-weighted exchange rate stands 4.0% above its weakest point from last September. While not falling off the central bank's inflation radar completely the SEK's hold over monetary policy has weakened.
The Riksbank is likely to play it safe on Thursday and hold steady, but there is a case for lowering its inflation expectations and, consequently, its interest rate path as well. A cautious stance, but likely to reinforce the view that there is scope for two more rate cuts this year.
