The USD to NOK exchange rate has been influenced by a myriad of factors in recent weeks, with the US dollar generally strengthening ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes. Analysts suggest that the upside in the dollar reflects a risk-averse market sentiment, as investors gravitate towards safe-haven currencies amidst geopolitical uncertainties. However, the currency's trajectory might be tempered by upcoming economic data, particularly the US GDP figures, which are expected to show a contraction in Q1. If the actual growth figures fall below forecasts, concerns over a potential recession could weigh heavily on the US dollar.
