Jan von Gerich: Finland: Forget Fixit, rather fix itNordea
There has been a row of misunderstandings circulating about the stance of Finland towards the euro and a possible referendum on whether Finland should leave the euro. Finland is not about to leave the euro, nor is a referendum on the Finnish membership about to take place. While the Finnish economy is suffering inside the currency union, the Finnish people realize an exit would be a risky jump into the unknown.

Strategy 2016 Sweden: Riksbank's finger glued to the triggerNordea
Swedish growth will continue to outperform peers. Inflation will stay below target. The Riksbank shocked markets by warning about FX intervention at a quite weak SEK level. We think the fear factor will keep SEK within the comfort zone and there will be no Riksbank action. But risks are tilted towards FX interventions and some additional rate cut. Should the Riksbank need to intervene, we expect it to be on an ad hoc basis and that it first will dip its toes, rather than go for the full bazooka.

Euro-area Outlook: Recovery set to continue while politics get messierNordea
Conditions are in place for continued recovery in 2016/17, mainly driven by private consumption. The ECB will keep driving with a heavy foot on the gas pedal (although traction is limited) and fiscal policy turns slightly expansionary. One major risk is weaker demand from Emerging Markets. And then there is politics: reformers are facing headwinds and the EU is struggling to find common answers to current challenges.

Morning MarketsTF
It was a mixed picture in Asian markets today. There was no repeat share rout in China which brought widespread relief. China's equities even regained a little of the ground lost during recent falls. However China-driven anxiety and commodity weakness still weighed on sentiment in Hong Kong Tokyo and Sydney with equities down on all three bourses.

Global Daily – Brexit risk premium still to buildABN AMRO
Brexit risks are set to come more in focus in markets * Prime Minister Cameron has hinted at referendum in H2 * A vote for Brexit seems a higher risk than commonly judged * Sterling has weakened significantly against the dollar…but this reflects rate spreads, with the Brexit premium still to come

Daily ShotTF
China remains in the center of attention. e PBoC has once again intervened in the currency markets and it seems that Beijing is unhappy about the recent capital outflows declining FX reserves and its inability to depreciate the currency in an orderly fashion.
