W13 2026 Forecast Review: Direction Correct as Market Drops

The SISALMONI index for Week 13 2026 has been published, and we can now verify our forecast against the actual market price. Our model correctly predicted the direction of price movement.

Analysis

Our forecast predicted a slight decline from 95.96 to 95.91 NOK/kg. The actual price came in at 91.43 NOK/kg—a larger drop than we anticipated. While our price point was off by 4.48 NOK, we correctly predicted that prices would move downward.

The 4.9% error falls just within our 5% threshold for a "hit." More importantly, the directional call was correct. For traders and procurement teams making buy/hold/sell decisions, knowing the direction of price movement is often the most valuable signal.
