USD/NOK Trading forecasts and signals

The US dollar and the Norwegian Franc – the USD NOK currency pair belongs to the so-called "exotic" because one of its components - the Norwegian Krone (NOK), is not among the most popular world currencies (which are USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD), for which the vast majority of transactions are made on Forex.

In addition, a lot of activity makes this financial instrument attractive to scalpers, even despite decent spreads.USDNOK forecast and quote onlineThe forecast for today USD/NOK is based on the indicators of more than 15 technical analysis indicators.

Norway is known for its strong economy and high quality of life. Oil prices have a strong influence on the exchange rate of the Norwegian currency. It can be strongly influenced by energy prices in the home region and other movements in the energy market. Currencies are influenced by equal factors, so it is not very surprising that USD NOK is characterized by high risks and high volatility.No matter what anyone says, the United States is still the world hegemon today, and the American economy is the most powerful. By a significant margin, the services sector prevails in the country, accounting for almost 80% of the country's GDP. The role of production has fallen dramatically over the past half century, and now industry accounts for only 19.2% of GDP. Agriculture provides only about 1 percent.International trade plays a huge role for the United States (the country is the largest importer and exporter of goods), the main partners are the NAFTA countries (Canada and Mexico), China, Japan, and the EU.Norway's economy is based on the export of raw materials, hydrocarbons and electricity. Huge reserves of oil and gas, forestry and fisheries, provide the country with significant profits. However, the main source of income is the sale of oil and gas, which accounts for more than 50% of exports, and the main partners: EU and USA. The distribution by sector is as follows:74-78% – trade and services (hotel and restaurant business);20-22% – industry;2-3% agriculture.Tourism is of considerable importance, both for the USA and for Norway. Over the past few decades, as a result of the huge influx of oil money, which began in the 70s, when the development of deposits began on the shelf of the North Sea, the country has transformed and has become one of the most comfortable to live in. At the moment, this attracts a lot of migrants from Africa and Arab countries to the country, which in turn negatively affects tourism and contributes to the growth of crime. Severe weather conditions also often make themselves felt.Thus, we have a post-industrial economy on the one hand (USA) and an export-raw material economy on the other. The main factors influencing the exchange rate of the US Dollar against the Norwegian Krone, which must be taken into account when performing the analysis, are:Prices for hydrocarbons (oil, gas) and raw materials (wood, aluminum);The Fed rate and US economic indicators (trade balance, unemployment rate, business activity, inflation, etc.);The situation on the US stock market (the growth of major stock indices, such as the Dow, S&P 500 or the NASDAQ technology sector index contributes to the strengthening of the pair).Read more: USD/DKK: exchange rate, online chart, signals & forecasts for todayFeatures of the currency pairThe USD currency pair does not add certainty to the pair and the price of oil, which last year slowed down the decline and even strengthened somewhat. The Norwegian economy has another important feature – a reserve fund made up of oil profits, therefore, even in the event of a sharp short-term drop in oil prices, the pair's growth is not guaranteed, since the Central Bank is likely to stabilize the crown by resorting to this reserve.The dollar – Krona on timeframes from H1 and above lends itself well to technical analysis, but, first of all, it reacts to the fundamental latest news, for example, to important economic news on the USA and Norway.Whatever the forecast and the chosen trading strategy, due to high volatility, you need to be especially careful about setting stop losses and take profits. Experts recommend that when setting a stop order, set its value 3-5 times higher than usual, otherwise, with a high probability, it will easily be taken out, and then the price can calmly turn back in the right direction, although scalpers may neglect this advice. The same can be attributed to setting goals.Leverage when trading on the US Dollar – Norwegian Krone also needs to be reduced, up to a maximum of 1 to 50, and even better, if up to 1:20 – 1:10, otherwise the prospect of getting a Margin Call can become a reality even inside the day, not to mention opening and holding long-term ...
