CZECHIA
- Yesterday, the CNB decided to hike its benchmark rate by 125bps to 7% (in line with market expectations).
- It was the last meeting for CNB governor Rusnok, who will soon be replaced by 'dove' Ales Michl (taking over in July).
- With the new board pivoting to a more 'dovish' stance, CZK may weaken slowly against major crosses (i.e. EUR) as uncertainty over policy outlook could weigh on the koruna.
- Some sell-side analysts are expecting a pause following today's decision, as further tightening will accelerate the economic slowdown.
- The chart below shows that the dramatic tightening in financial conditions (i.e. 2Y change in 2Y yield) has been pricing in a significant deceleration in the economic activity in the coming months.
- Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala will attend the EU summit and is scheduled to meet with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels today (BBG).
