FOREX
- The HUF remains currently the most ‘undervalued’ currency against the USD among the G10/CEE world (nearly -21.7%), and therefore could continue to appreciate in the short term if market optimism gradually recovers.
- The chart below ranks the major G10 and CEE currencies based on their percentage difference between the current spot rate and their 'fair' value, which we define using a Behavioral Equilibrium Exchange Rate (BEER) model (using terms of trade, inflation and 10y interest rate differentials as explanatory variables).
- The JPY is now ‘significantly undervalued’ against the greenback (-17.7%) following the sharp depreciation in March.
- JPY is the second most ‘undervalued’ currencyamong the G10 world afterSEK (-17.9%)
- Risk-on currency GBP also remains among the ‘cheapest’ currencies (-16.8%) as the pound has been very sensitive to the surge in price volatility since the start of the year.
- On the other hand, the ‘safe-haven’ CHF remains the most ‘overvalued’ currency against the USD (by 7.6%).
