Fading Growth Expectations Increase Uncertainty Over Policy Outlook

POLAND
  • The NBP decided to follow consensus and hike the policy rate by 50bps to 1.75% even though inflation continued to surprise positively in November.
  • The worsening outlook due to the rising Covid uncertainty resulted in a ‘less aggressive hike’ in today’s meeting, which has been weighing on the PLN.
  • Policymakers are now split between elevated inflationary pressures and a worsening economic outlook.
  • As the uncertainty over the policy outlook keeps rising, selling pressure on PLN could remain elevated in the near term, which will support inflation expectations.
  • EURPLN has been trending higher following the decision, breaking above the 4.60 level and currently trading at the high of its 3-day range. Next support to watch on the topside stands at 4.6230.
