EURHUF Retraces Higher Following NBH Decision

HUNGARY
  • EURHUF has been retracing slightly higher this morning following NBH decision to leave its 1W depo rate unchanged at 4%.
  • It seems that traders have been disappointed by the NBH's decision to pause its tightening cycle (1W depo rate unchanged since the start of the year); the forint has been consolidating against major crosses in the past week.
  • EURHUF found support at 355.40 earlier (61.8% Fibo retracement of 345.10 – 372 range) and is currently trading slightly below its200DMA (357.60).
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 361.30 (100DMA).
  • Renewed HUF weakness in the ST could push NBH policymakers to start raising the 1W depo rate again; some investors are pricing in a higher terminal rate at 4.5%.
  • Support to watch below 355.40 stands at 351.50 (76.4% Fibo retracement).
