Sweden\u2019s Krona staged a two day rally at the end of last week and managed to recover some of its early losses. At the interbank market, during the previous trading week, the GBP\/SEK exchange rate settled higher at 12.2928, but was seen quoted within a trading range of 12.4276 and 12.1869.<\/p>\n

The UK is scheduled to leave the 28-nation bloc on January 31. The Conservative Party has a comfortable majority to pass Johnson\u2019s bill before heading to the House of Lords on January 9.<\/p>\n The Riksbank minutes should reveal more insight into the real reasons behind the rate hike.
