NBH Keeps 1W Depo Rate Steady Amid HUF ‘Recovery’

HUNGARY
  • The NBH decided to keep its 1W depo rate at 5.85% this morning after raising it by 50bps last week to ease the selling pressure on HUF.
  • The sharp positive rebound in HUF following the ‘slight improvements’ in the Russia/Ukraine conflict last week has eased the pressure on Hungary policymakers.
  • EURHUF has been testing its key support at 370 in the past two days after reaching an all-time high at 400 on March 7.
    • A Break below that level would open the door for a move down to 367.60.
    • Next key level to watch on the downside stands at 364.30 (100DMA).
  • Even though inflation remains NBH biggest ‘enemy’, hiking too aggressively also increases recession risks.
