EUR/NOK drops to lows post-data
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The Norwegian krone is now rapidly appreciating vs. the single currency, sending EUR/NOK to test intraday lows in sub-8.5600 levels.
EUR/NOK firmer on CPI
The cross fell further following the inflation figures in the Nordic economy during last month, showing that domestic consumer prices contracted less than estimates 0.1% inter-month (vs. -0.3% exp.) and advanced 2.0% on a yearly basis, vs. 1.9% initially forecasted. Core prices advanced at an annual pace of 2.4% vs. 2.3% expected.
The releases gave extra wings to the krone in light of building speculations regarding a potential rate cut by the Norges Bank in March.
