W14 2026 Forecast Review: 1.1% Error After Model Retrain

The SISALMONI index for Week 14 2026 has been published at 87.49 NOK/kg. Our model forecast, updated after the Tuesday retrain on March 31, predicted 88.50 NOK/kg — an error of just 1.01 NOK, or 1.1%. Direction was correct: we predicted a decline from the W13 base of 91.43, and the market delivered.

How the Retrain Improved Accuracy

On March 25, our model initially projected W14 at 97.50 NOK/kg based on available data at that time. When the W13 actual of 91.43 was published on Tuesday March 31, our pipeline automatically retrained the model with the new data point. The retrained model revised its W14 estimate to 88.50 — the nowcast that was live on the platform before W14 published.

This 9 NOK improvement in accuracy demonstrates the value of our automated Tuesday retrain pipeline. By incorporating the latest market data, the model adapts to recent momentum shifts that earlier forecasts cannot account for.
