With a slew of economic releases dye, investors will have a good snapshot of the health of the Swedish economy. The data due to be released includes business and consumer confidence, consumer inflation expectations, household lending growth, balance of trade, retail sales and PPI which is a measure of inflation at wholesale level.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts are expecting weaker readings across the board compared to the prior month\u2019s release. Of the above data points the most closely watched will be the consumer inflation and retail sales. Consumer inflation is expected to decline to 3.3% from 3.4%, whilst retail sales are forecast to drop -0.7% month on month in January after gaining 0.5% in December. Should the data paint a weaker picture of the Swedish economy, the krona could come under pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>UK Trade Talks Mandate To Be Released<\/h2>\n<p>Today Boris Johnson\u2019s goals for the post Brexit negotiations will be released. The are expected to show that the UK is looking to take back full control over its rules, in areas such as state aid, employment law and the environment. However, this would be in contrast to the EU\u2019s requirements of a level playing field. Downing Street have already said that signing up to follow EU standards would defeat the point of Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>Other potential points of contention include fishing waters and the return of \u201cunlawfully removed cultural objects\u201d. Ministers are expected to set out demand for a Canada style agreement with zero tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Recent exchanges between the two sides and a toughening of stances gives an indication as to the challenges that the EU and the UK face. Investors are growing increasingly doubtful as to whether a trade deal will be reached. This could mean leaving the EU on World Trade Organisation terms, a step down from the current arrangement. These concerns are expected to keep the pound under pressure.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com<\/em><em> is a news site only and not a currency trading platform.<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com is a site operated by TransferWise Inc.
