Fx daily hawkish wave to hit scandinavia today

外汇日报：鹰派浪潮今日将冲击斯堪的纳维亚
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The dollar rally looks stretched after DXY broke above 101.0 on strong US PMIs, higher oil and soft risk sentiment; absent upside US data surprises, ING expects a correction toward 100-100.5. EUR/USD's break below 1.140 is stretched undervaluation, with convergence to 1.1430-1.1450 expected. The Riksbank is seen delivering a hawkish hold and Norges Bank a close-call 25bp hike, with NOK offering more upside than SEK. USD/JPY intervention risk is flagged.

- short-term
Key arguments
- DXY's break above 101.0 looks stretched relative to fundamentals; a correction to 100-100.5 is expected unless US data surprises force an October Fed hike to be fully priced.
- EUR/USD below 1.140 is stretched undervaluation because short-term rate differentials moved in the euro's favour; a move to 1.1430-1.1450 would better match current conditions.
- The Riksbank is expected to hold but hint at imminent tightening, with a November hike expected and higher rate projections; SEK upside needs lower oil and calmer risk sentiment.
- Norges Bank is a close call but a 25bp hike is expected, with market pricing of 16bp leaving room for NOK to rally; it is seen as the last hike of the cycle.

Main risks
- Upside US data surprises could fully price in an October Fed hike and prop up short-term rates, delaying any DXY correction.
- A rapid USD/JPY rally may draw Japanese intervention, which could spill over into broad USD weakness.
- EUR/SEK upside risks into 11.35-11.40 remain near term, and CEE currencies face further weakness with PLN likely to underperform.
Corresponding source evidence
Meanwhile, the dollar rally has accelerated, and the move is starting to look stretched We expect the Riksbank to deliver a hawkish hold today USD: Rally starting to look stretched The dollar jumped yesterday, with DXY breaking above 101.0.
Very strong US PMIs, higher oil prices and soft risk sentiment have all contributed to the bullish narrative, although the move is starting to look stretched relative to fundamentals.
We are cautious in calling for a bottom in the dollar just yet because any upside surprise in upcoming US data releases can easily prompt markets to fully price in an October Fed hike and prop up short-term rates even more.
