The Swedish krone had a rough time so far in 2019 and is the worst performing YTD G10 currency. Somewhat lacklustre data from Sweden can be named as a reason behind. SEK can be subject to elevated volatility today due to industrial orders data and Riksbank minutes. However, it should be noted that the latest Riksbank meeting was quite a dovish one and so can be the minutes.
9:40 pm BST - API report on oil inventories. Oil took a dive lower yesterday along with other risky assets. However, this drop was fully erased by the end of the day and now both WTI and Brent, trade above last week’s closes. While oil prices are likely to remain vulnerable to geopolitics and trade issues, inventories data may trigger short-term moves. Last week saw a massive build of 9.9 million barrel but today’s API data is expected to show a 1.3 million barrel decline.

Brent (OIL) bounced off the 50- and 200-session moving average yesterday and climbed back above the price zone ranging around $71 handle. The two averages are crossing at the moment with high chance of painting a golden cross pattern, a potential bullish signal. Source: xStation5
