EUR/HUF Finds Sellers at 360 Resistance, Brushing Off Weaker Data

HUNGARY
  • EUR/HUF trades -0.20% lower this morning, pulling away from the 360 level in early trading.
  • The cross fell -0.31% in yesterday's session for a +0.53% weekly gain after decisively beaching the 200dma in Monday's session. On the data front, manufacturing PMIs fell to 52.1 from 55.9 – missing estimates for 54.5 by some distance and marking a second successive month of decline.
  • Additionally, trade balance data printed softer than the prior month at -21pbn vs -193. The focus this afternoon shifts to US ISM and manufacturing PMI data for global risk drivers.
  • The cross is now showing more reversal momentum after finding sellers again around key resistance at 360, with the 200dma (356.70) the next major support followed by the 38.2% fib at 355.73.
  • The RSI has also just left overbought conditions, combined with signs of the MACD histogram rolling over – adding to potential signs of a reversal on the technical front.
