[Market analysis: The Swedish central bank’s hawkish tendencies are intensifying, and two more interest rate hikes are expected] Johan Lof, senior economist at the Swedish Commercial Bank, said that the Swedish central bank raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% and further raised the interest rate path by 30% 2 basis points to a peak of 4.05%, clearly exceeding the forward guidance in April, which shows its hawkish side. In addition, the Riksbank will accelerate the reduction of assets. Despite the more restrictive policy, the Riksbank raised its GDP forecast, lowered its unemployment forecast and raised its CPIF forecast excluding energy. "All in all, it shows that they are becoming more aware of deeper inflation problems." Commerzbank expects two more 25 basis point rate hikes in September and November before starting to cautiously cut rates next summer.
