HUNGARY
  • This morning, economic data showed that average gross wages surged to 7.9% YoY in July (vs. 8% exp.), up from 3.5% the previous month.
  • The slow down in the pace of hikes by the NBH has been weighing on the HUF, which has experienced significant selling pressures in the past two weeks, decoupling from local peers (PLN and CZK).
  • The table shows that HUF has been one of the worst EM FX performers in September, down over 4% against the US Dollar.
  • Next economic data to watch will be PPI inflation coming out on Sep 30.
