Ögat live

What is worth keeping an eye on right now? Our recurring publication, Ögat, provides the answers and is released every other Wednesday. Ögat Live is a 30-minute broadcast published on the first Thursday of each month.

In Ögat Live, SEB’s Head of Research, Karl Steiner, together with fellow strategists and economists, takes a deeper dive into the most topical issues covered in recent editions of Ögat. You will also receive regular updates on the Swedish krona and our outlook for its development. In addition, you have the opportunity to put your questions directly to our experts in the studio.

Ögat Live 20 August 2026

Ögat Live is back after the summer break. We begin with a rapid analysis of the Riksbank’s interest rate decision (09:30), before moving on to a recap of key developments over the summer and a look ahead to what should be on your radar this autumn. We will discuss what matters most for the financial markets, what is merely noise, and, as always, conclude with our latest thoughts on the Swedish krona.

Joining us in the studio is Philip Grist, Head of FX Sweden, who will provide an even more client-focused perspective on the key events and market themes of the season.

Speakers:
Karl Steiner, Head of Research
Marcus Widén, Economist, Sweden and Europe
Philip Grist, Head of FX Sweden

Upcoming Ögat Live broadcasts

Ögat

Ögat is published every other Wednesday and is a macroeconomic report from Strategy & Economic Research. It is designed to provide a concise and accessible overview of the current state of the global economy, as well as events expected to influence interest rates, currencies and commodity prices, including central bank actions, inflation developments and geopolitical developments.

Foreign Exchange

Trade execution in the foreign exchange markets is extremely efficient. However, there are still a surprising number of manual pre-trade FX processes at both our corporates and investor clients. As a leading Nordic FX Bank, we provide technologies and solutions that can help you eradicate these risks.

SEB Research portal

Our top-ranked team of economists and strategists provides exclusive insights into global and Nordic economic developments and financial markets, including foreign exchange and currency markets. By following their analysis, you can stay ahead of market trends and make more informed decisions.
