EUR/SEK
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Swedish krona is markedly depreciating against the euro on Friday, pushing the pair to the proximities of 8.6350 after the unemployment rate in Sweden ticked higher to 4.8% during December.
In the opinion of K.Kirkegaard, Senior Analyst at Danske Bank, "Swedish registered unemployment rose to 4.8%. A welcome relief is that the number of layoffs fell to 5700 after two months in a row around 10000. At the same time vacancies fell. Hence, a mixed report. High unemployment is a factor holding back consumption (as illustrated by clothing sales falling 3.7% y/y)".
EURSEK is up 0.26% at 8.6347 with the next resistance at 8.6510 (high Dec.24) and then 8.6740 (high Dec.20).
On the downside, a break below 8.5070 (Lower Bollinger) would clear the way to 8.5060 (low Jan.4) and finally 8.5000 (low Nov.8).
