EURHUF Nears 370 Key Resistance

HUNGARY
  • This morning, economic data showed that industrial production came in higher than expected at 4.5% YoY in February (vs. 1.8% exp.), down from 7.1% the previous month.
  • HUF has been slightly weakening following the election’s result (Orban victory), with EURHUF currently trading slightly below the 370 level this morning.
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 375.10.
  • We have previously seen that the 370 level represents a ‘psychological’ level for NBH policymakers, who have been forced to intervene via the 1W depo facility to prevent further HUF depreciation as a weaker forint keeps supporting inflation expectations.
