While some analysts were concerned about a swift Swedish recovery due to the Baltic crisis, most countries in the northerly region have seen strong and steady growth. Norway’s economy has benefited largely from climbing Crude Oil prices and Denmark’s debate about entry into the EU’s legal regulations has helped its economy find direction.

The NOK, SEK and DKK have all climbed to 2-week highs versus the USD, as well as a near-2-week high against the EUR. Following Norway’s decision to hike interest rates recently, the region appears to be on the receiving end of recent risk appetite. If this continues, Scandinavia may find itself leading the broader region out of this economic downturn.
