  • Manufacturing Production in Norway increased 1.7 percent in August y-o-y, compared to a 3.8 percent rise in the previous year. 
     
  • On Friday, the pair tumbled to a 1-week trough but found strong support at 10-DMA. 
     
  • USD/NOK trades 0.5 percent up at 9.1368, having touched a high of 9.1615 on Wednesday, its highest since September 3.
     
  • Momentum indicators are bullish - RSI strong at 62.99, MACD support upside and Stochs are biased higher. 
     
  • Immediate resistance is located at 9.1482 and a close above could take it till 9.1645.
