Fundamental view

Sweden

The unemployment rate in Sweden probably remained unchanged at 8.5% in March, the same rate as in the previous month, according to the median estimate by experts. From March 2005, the indicator covers all people of working age, who during the reference period were not employed, but have a desire to work and were actively seeking work during the last four weeks. People waiting to start work in the next three months are also included. Data from 1976 included also students eligible for unemployment by standards of the International Labour Organisation – ILO. The organization re-entered the survey in October 2007 and the unemployment rate is now calculated as the percentage of unemployed people to the total level of labor force in the country. Workforce represents the total of employed and unemployed persons.

Statistics Sweden is scheduled to release an official report at 07:30 GMT. A lower than expected unemployment rate will heighten the appeal of the Swedish krona.

Euro zone

Consumer confidence in the euro zone probably improved to -9.2 in April, from -9.3 in the previous month, according to the median estimate by experts. The index of economic sentiment or economic confidence is an indicator that consists of five major components, reflecting the mood in various economic sectors. They are presented with different weights in the composite index, and are the following: industrial confidence, confidence in the services sector, consumer confidence, confidence in the construction sector and confidence in the sector of retail sales. Indices of different types of trust are seasonally adjusted balances, generated from the responses of a number of issues directly related to the sector.

The European Commission provides preliminary data on consumer confidence two weeks before the final evaluation. It will release official data at 14:00 GMT today. A higher than expected reading will provide support for the 18-nation common currency.
