SEK: could the Riksbank erase and rewind?Nordea
The Riksbank has turned less worried about the inflation outlook and signaled increased tolerance of SEK gains. While the ECB’s QE acceleration could still throw a wrench in the works, the biggest of the Riksbank's "exit challenges" would be if it allowed markets to reprice Swedish rates. A repricing of Swedish rates would prompt a substantial appreciation of the SEK.

FX UpdateTF
The risks over today’s US Federal Reserve meeting are certainly two-way as the market is neither sure what to expect nor sure how it is to react to central bank meetings after the example set by the European Central Bank last week but we look for higher probability of a USD-supportive outcome.

From the FloorTF
We probably won't get a move tonight and the market is certainly not expecting it but a hawkish Fed may widen the door for a April move.
