POLISH ZLOTY: Goldman Sachs notes that "despite a substantial rally in
risk-sentiment & EUR from the March lows, EUR/PLN has retraced less than 50% of
its corona-crisis losses. At current spot levels of around 4.45, it is not far
off the 4.50 level that it has only breached a handful of times in the last
decade, and screens as the most undervalued of the CEE currencies. Moreover,
with rates at the lower bound (0.1%) and QE in train, it is hard to imagine
further dovish surprises form the central bank. On the other side, however,
(COVID-19) infection rates appear contained... The CEE region should also
benefit from the recovery momentum in Euro area activity, and Poland is less
exposed to tourism than some of its CEE peers. Positioning in PolGBs remains a
risk factor, and a key risk to Zloty strength going forward is policymaker
aversion to currency appreciation, but we continue to expect EUR/PLN to reach
4.40, 4.30 and 4.20 in 3, 6 and 12 months, and recommend a short position in
USD/PLN with a target of 3.70 and a stop of 4.05 for investors looking for a
higher beta expression of EUR/USD length."
