Riksbank seen on cautious hold

"In Sweden, we and markets expect the Riksbank to keep the policy rate at 1.75%. We expect the main message will be a cautious "wait and see", without any significant adjustments to the near-term rate path."

"In terms of forecasts and guidance, however, the current environment is highly uncertain."

"Also in Sweden, Origo inflation expectations will be published today and given recent events, it is reasonable to expect them to rise somewhat."

"However, it is worth noting that the responses were collected approximately 10 days ago."
