  "account": "Nordea analysts maintain a positive outlook on the Swedish Krona (SEK), considering it undervalued due to strong domestic fundamentals and improving macroeconomic data. However, they anticipate a decline in momentum through 2025-2026 and a more hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed), geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and reliance on EUR/USD stability. The Riksbank may raise interest rates, narrowing differentials with the ECB, but upside potential for the SEK is now limited. While macroeconomic improvements should gradually boost the SEK, the analysts caution that the latter half of 2025 and early 2026 may offer less optimism. Inflation trends have picked up, potentially prompting the Riksbank to implement its first rate hike, benefiting the SEK; nevertheless, the risk of the exchange rate strengthening if the Riksbank does not meet market expectations for one or two hikes by year-end remains. Sweden's favorable global risk sentiment and domestic advantages position it well to draw foreign investment.",
  "summary": "Nordea strategists remain constructive on the Swedish Krona (SEK), viewing it as undervalued and supported by robust domestic fundamentals and improving macro data.",
