HUNGARY: Local Catalysts Scarce as EURHUF Starts the Week Softer

HUNGARY
  • Local news flow was light over the weekend, with no notable domestic developments this morning either.
  • EURHUF has started the session moderately lower, though the broader pullback from the early August highs is still considered corrective from a technical standpoint.
