Feb-13 13:12
Svenska Kraftnat and Danish Energinet are upgrading the 715MW Konti-Skan 1 and 2 electricity connections between Sweden and Denmark to increase transmission capacity by 285W to 1GW, Svenska said.
- The upgrade is part of broader efforts to increase transmission capacity, including reinforcements in electricity areas SE2 and SE3 by 2028 and up to 2GW in the 2030s.
- The renewal aims to support electricity trade between Sweden and Denmark, driven by rising energy demand and the increased use of wind and solar power, the Swedish TSO added.
- The provisional cost for Svenska Kraftnat’s share is estimated at SEK 6.5bn ( €580mn)

USD: BofA Note Upside Risks For USD In Near-Term, More Cautious Further Into '25
Jan-14 13:08
Bank of America note that “the USD has picked up in 2025 where 2024 left off - rallying on the dual themes of uncertainty over tariffs and the potential data-induced end to the Fed's cutting cycle.”
- “We expect the Fed is most likely done, which for now remains USD supportive, but what next? If (limited) history is any guide, past "mid-cycle adjustments" have tended to be USD positive, but none occurred at such lofty USD valuations.”
- “Talk of Fed hikes is likely to come but still feels premature to us.”
- “Meanwhile, the USD's support comes despite the opposite move in rate differentials. A possible warning sign? As we have been noting, positioning is crowded and FX sentiment is increasingly consensus, exposing asymmetric risks. “
- They continue to see “near-term USD upside risks but maintain the view that the USD will moderate around mid-year once U.S. economic policy choices become clearer.”
