- Risk/commodities: Energy price fluctuations continue to pressure risk sentiment, supporting safe-haven currencies.
- Global factors: Ongoing US inflation data and a cautious Fed outlook weigh on the US dollar.
⚠️ What could change it

- Downside risk: Unexpected strength in US economic data may bolster the dollar, reducing SEK's recent gains.
