EURHUF Nearing All-Time High

HUNGARY
  • It did not take long for the selling pressure on forint to surge (again); EURHUF has been trending higher in the past week, erasing all of its post NBH-hike gains last Tuesday.
  • EURHUF broke back above the 400 level yesterday and is gradually approaching its all-time high at 404.80.
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 410.79, which corresponds to the 123.6% Fibo projection of the 352.40 – 399.60 range.
  • Important data to watch this week will be CPI inflation on July 8, which is expected to accelerate to 11.5% in June (up from 10.7% the previous month).
  • A higher-than-expected print will pressure the NBH to act via the 1W depo rate facility the following week.
