Danish Krone: Weakness seen as structural against Euro – Nordea
[]
FXStreet Forex & Commodities News
Nordea’s Chief Analyst Jan Størup Nielsen notes that Nationalbanken did not intervene in July to support Denmark’s fixed exchange rate policy, after a small purchase of kroner in June.
He argues the recent weakening of the Danish krone against the Euro reflects shifts in domestic corporate demand and expects the EUR/DKK interest rate differential to stay unchanged for an extended period.
Danish krone weakness without fresh intervention"Over the past month, there has been no need to purchase kroner in support of Denmark's fixed exchange rate policy."
"The July figures were awaited with particular interest, as Nationalbanken in June purchased DKK 0.7 billion to curb a further weakening of the Danish krone against the euro."
"The absence of intervention in July supports our view that the weakening of the Danish krone against the euro is due to changes in the underlying demand for Danish kroner among domestic non-financial corporates."
