On the former, Norway not only has stronger domestic growth momentum than most G10 economies but also happens to have trade exposure to economies that maintain relatively strong growth (Figure 1). This allowed Norges Bank last week to reiterate guidance for a hike in March, which is not yet fully priced. We expect Norges to be the only central bank in G10 to hike rates in the next three months. On the dollar, we see the broad dollar under continued pressure from various sources: low vol favouring EM carry, Chinese monetary easing perhaps obviating CNH depreciation, sentiment on the Euro bottoming out, Japanese investors still selling US equities, the Mueller investigation raising the political risk premium, and the trade war edging toward resolution. But it is hard to isolate the primary driver and beneficiary of dollar weakness, and we thus like selling USD/NOK as the dollar cross tracking the broad dollar most closely (Figure 2).
