Currently, USD/SEK is trading near 30-day lows at 9.5059, close to the 3-month average, supported by risk-off sentiment and safe-haven flows. The pair remains within its recent 5.9% range, with the dominant driver being the rate differential.

- Global factors: Energy prices and geopolitical tensions are influencing safe-haven flows and USD strength.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Sharp changes in US monetary policy or a marked slowdown in risk aversion could weaken the dollar.
- Downside risk: Unexpected Swedish economic resilience or a stabilization in global risk sentiment might further support SEK.
