Fundamental view

Norway

Retail Sales in Norway probably inched up 0.1% in March, following a 0.6% gain in the previous month.

Retail trade is defined as trade of goods, which are intended for use by private households or individual users. This category includes sales of motor vehicles, along with motorcycles for personal use, as well as their fuel supply through intermediaries to end users. Retail sales also include office equipment and technology, paint, wood , etc., if they are sold directly to end users. The index is based on a sample of over 13 200 units of the VAT register of the country, covering one quarter of all companies in the sector. This is the percentage change compared to the previous month.

Statistics Norway is scheduled to release an official report at 8:00 GMT. A larger-than-expected jump in retail sales, would certainly provide support to the Norwegian krona.

Euro zone

The flash (preliminary) reading of the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) in the Euro zone probably rose 0.8% in April, from a final reading of 0.5% in the previous month, according to the median estimate by experts. The final reading, which was posted in March, was the weakest since October 2009. The HICP is used to measure and compare inflation between Member States. It is used for further evaluation of inflation, according to Art . 121 of the Amsterdam’s Agreement and directives of the European Central Bank to achieve price stability and the implementation of monetary policy. HICP is calculated based on international harmonized standards adopted by Member States. This is the percentage change compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.

Eurostat is scheduled to release the official report at 09:00 GMT. A weaker-than-expected reading may prompt the ECB to ease monetary policy in order to avoid risks of deflation. However, higher-than-expected reading will probably relieve pressure on central bank’s officials and they will not need to take imminent actions.
