Sweden's crown fell, but Norway's wavered on Thursday after both countries' central banks raised interest rates.
Sweden's Riksbank raised its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 4%, as expected, and said it may need to do more to bring inflation back down to 2%.
The Norges Bank followed suit half an hour later, pushing up rates by 25 basis points to 4.25%, but surprised traders and analysts by saying it would likely hike again in December.
Sweden and Norway's crowns both jumped around after the decisions but then moved in opposite directions.
