Fundamental view
Sweden’s annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) probably rose 0.3% in April, after registering remaining unchanged in the previous month. The index measures the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. Nation’s annualized core CPI probably declined by 0.1% last month, after losing 0.6% in March. Lower than expected CPI would have a bearish effect on the krone.
Statistics Sweden is to release the official report at 7:30 GMT.
