Koruna Ticks Higher But Remains Worst EMEA Performer This Week

CZK

EUR/CZK has lost some altitude and last deals -0.016 at 24.115, but remains comfortably above the psychologically significant 24.00 figure. A break below there and Aug 21 low of 23.977 would bring the 200-DMA at 23.834 into view. Bulls look to force a breach of resistance area around the 24.3 figure.

  • The koruna has been the worst performer in EMEA FX space, which might reflect its increased vulnerability to external shocks after the removal of the CNB's intervention regime. Note that central bank members have suggested that the planned sales of proceeds from FX holdings will be conducted in such a way as to minimise the impact on the FX market.
  • Legislative works on the fiscal consolidation package continue to draw attention after the ruling coalition agreed on the final shape of austerity measures.
  • CZGB yields have ticked higher across the curve, while the PX Index is little changed on the day.
