EURHUF Pares Earlier Gains as EUR Extends Higher

HUNGARY
EURHUF has pared the majority of its gains from earlier in the session and now trades close to flat on the day. The uptick in the cross at the beginning of the session coincided with a small downtick in the EUR, but EURHUF has traded steadily lower since, in-line with the broader move higher in the single currency as the greenback erases its post-NFP gains. 372.38, the Mar 1 low, remains the key support level to watch.
  • Domestic yields trade 6-10bps higher across the curve, though well within recent ranges, while the Budapest Stock Index sits 0.22% higher, slightly underperforming its regional peers.
  • Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas told reporters last Thursday that this week Hungary will decide whether to extend food price caps beyond the end of the month. The decision will be influenced tomorrow’s inflation data (Est: 25.0% y/y; Prior: 25.4%), the same day as the weekly cabinet meeting.
