GBPPLN Remains ‘Strong’ in January Despite Market Turmoil

POLAND
  • GBPPLN has remained strong in January despite the recent market turmoil; the zloty is down 0.3% against Sterling since the start of the year.
  • As a reminder, GBP is the most vulnerable currency among the G10 during periods of surging price volatility; the pound generally depreciates sharply when VIX soars.
  • Even though GBP has been performing poorly against major crosses in the past two weeks, PLN has been even more vulnerable due to Russia-related tensions.
  • Given Poland bigger dependence on imports from Russia, PLN has been significantly impacted by the recent turmoil.
  • GBPPLN hit a new local high at 5.5010 earlier today; next strong resistance to watch on the topside stands at 5.60.
  • On the downside, first support stands at 5.4590 (50DMA), followed by 5.4330 (100DMA).
