  • Hard to imagine repeated, successive cuts ahead
  • Cut in March is neither impossible nor probable
  • First cut in May or June more realistic
  • Also can't rule out the first cut will be after summer
  • Other central banks have significant bearing on timing of cuts

Thedeen

  • Policy needs to be contractionary for some time
  • Underlying inflation has fallen more than expected
  • Inflation dynamic is now going in desired direction
  • Clear signs we may be on way into new policy phase
  • Still risk of setbacks with regard to inflation
  • Another risk for inflation is development of krona

Bunge

  • Tighter monetary policy still necessary
  • Rate cut in H1 2024 require continued favorable signs
  • Risks of inflation becoming entrenched have declined
  • Need to focus on exchange rate

Breman

  • Contractionary policy needed to stabilize inflation
  • Any further krona weakening may complicate price goal
  • Rate will probably be cut sooner than seen in November
  • Should keep policy rate unchanged for some time

A number of comments made suggested that it is better not to rush rate cuts, and it has provided some support for the Swedish krona. EURSEK was testing the 200-hour moving average in the 11.31 area (purple line), when minutes were released, but has pulled back following the release.
