NOK: Energy support faces flow headwinds – BNY
BNY’s Geoff Yu notes that the Norwegian Krone (NOK) and Australian Dollar (AUD) are currently favored in G10 as energy-linked, high-beta currencies with hawkish-leaning central banks. However, he warns that Norges Bank’s FX transactions historically turn into sizeable NOK selling once higher energy prices feed through to the fiscal position, limiting further NOK gains. Yu cautions against excessive NOK positioning purely on energy receipts.
Energy tailwind offset by Norges Bank flows
"iFlow shows a retreat to traditional safe havens – such as the dollar, Swiss franc, U.S. Treasuries and Bunds – alongside selective positioning in assets that could benefit from a positive, energy-related terms-of-trade shock. In G10 markets, AUD and NOK are the two currencies most favored in this context. Both are large natural gas producers with hawkish-leaning central banks to complement terms-of-trade improvements."
"Both currencies could benefit in the near term, and Norges Bank’s view next week will likely resemble the RBA’s – adding to vigilance on the external side while stressing that domestic inflation will remain the key policy driver."
"We stress, however, that Norges Bank’s FX transactions – marginally positive for NOK now – tend to reverse once energy prices sustain a rally and the initial terms-of-trade adjustment runs its course."
"Any surplus to the non-oil budget deficit will result in Norges Bank selling NOK and purchasing foreign currency for the Government Pension Fund Global."
"During the previous energy surge in 2022 to 2023, daily FX transactions hit NOK 4bn – a strong marginal headwind against further NOK appreciation."
"Without taking a view on the duration of the current energy price surge, we would be wary of excessive NOK positioning based simply on energy receipts."

The Shopify Stock Rally Isn't Done: Chart of the Week -- Barrons.com
By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
