EMERGING MARKETS
  • EURHUF remains under pressure and has recently cleared a number of important short-term support levels. The cross is challenging 356.43 next, 61.8% of the Sep - Nov rally. A clear break of this level would open 355.15 next, Oct 4 low and 352.75, the 76.4% retracement. Initial firm resistance is seen at 360.99, the Dec 2 low.
  • EURPLN remains vulnerable following this month's extension of the current bear cycle. The cross last week breached a key short-term support at 4.5798, the Dec 8 low and Monday breached 4.5392, the Oct 7 low. This opens 4.5010 next, the Sep 1 low. Initial resistance is seen at 4.5847, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDZAR is still trading below last week’s high and today’s weakness has resulted in a print below the 15.50 handle. The continued weakness suggests scope for a deeper short-term decline and attention turns to 15.1542, Nov 15 low. Initial key resistance has been defined at 16.0902, Jan 1 high.
