On the other hand, the Greenback continues to trade strong, with its DXY advancing to highs since March 9 after positive mid-tier economic figures were released.<\/p>\n<p>On the Swedish front, headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in August was registered at 7.5% YoY, slightly below the expected 7.7%. In addition, the Consumer Price Index with a Fixed Interest Rate (CPIF) ex-energy came in at 7.2% YoY vs. 7.4% and lower than the previous 8.0% reading. Despite soft inflation figures, the SEK\u2019s losses may be cushioned by the Riskbank\u2019s hawkish stance as it hinted in its last meeting that it will hike one more time in 2023, as the weakness of its currency contributes to inflationary pressures. In that sense, a hike to 4% is priced in for next week\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the US economy doesn\u2019t cool down and continues to report strong data. The Producer Price Index (PPI) surged by 0.7% MoM, leading to a 1.6% YoY increase, surpassing predictions. Retail Sales also demonstrated strength, posting a 0.6% MoM growth, well above the expected 0.2% rise. Meanwhile, during the second week of September, Jobless Claims increased to 220,000, slightly exceeding the previous week&#8217;s 217,000 but staying below the anticipated 225,000. Focus now\u00a0shifts to next week\u2019s Federal Reserve (Fed) decision, where investors will look for clues to continue modelling their expectations in the policy statement and Chair Powell\u2019s presser. As for now, the CME FedWatch tool indicates that the odds of one last 25 basis point (bps) hike have slightly declined to nearly 35%.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fxs_headline_medium\">USD\/SEK Levels to watch<\/h2>\n<p>Observing the daily chart, USD\/SEK\u00a0suggests a bullish sentiment for the near future.
