[The signal of interest rate cut "failed"? The Norwegian Central Bank is in a dilemma] ⑴ The Norwegian Central Bank lowered the key interest rate from 4.5% to 4.25% in June, and has been sending signals for a long time that it will gradually cut interest rates. However, some institutions believe that apart from the previous signals, the Norwegian Central Bank has no other reason to cut interest rates on Thursday. ⑵ The outlook for the Norwegian Central Bank's interest rate cut this time faces challenges. Although its forecast of interest rate cuts is based on the fact that monetary policy is suppressing economic activity, some institutions have questioned this assumption. At the same time, the Norwegian economy has rebounded strongly after two years of moderate growth. ⑶ In addition, Norway's inflation rate is also well above the target of 2%, which further weakens the rationale for the interest rate cut. Although there is great uncertainty in the market about whether the Norwegian Central Bank will take action, institutions generally believe that it will keep interest rates unchanged this week.
