Norwegian Wage Commission revises 2026 core inflation forecast to 3.2% (prev. 3.1% seen in February)
What it means
The Norwegian Wage Commission's revision of the 2026 core inflation forecast from 3.1% to 3.2% indicates a slight upward adjustment in inflation expectations. This may signal growing concerns about persistent inflationary pressures, which could have implications for monetary policy and interest rates moving forward. Traders should monitor how this news could affect the NOK and bond markets, particularly given current global inflation trends.
