BUX Index Breaks Below 200DMA Support

HUNGARY
  • Since the start of the year, we have seen that global equities have been extremely sensitive to the geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
  • A sudden deterioration of the current situation would lead to USD strength and a sharp correction in equities, while 'easing' geopolitical tensions would decrease the risk-aversion and stimulate equities.
  • The chart below, which could be applied to numerous economies, show the strong relationship between USDHUF (inverted) and BUX index in recent months.
  • BUX index broke below its 200DMA in today's trading session, a moving average that has acted as a strong support line in the latest bull market.
  • Next support to watch on the downside stands at 48,861.40, which was the low reached on December 23rd.
