NBH To Align Its 1W and Base Rates At 9.75%

HUNGARY
  • Selling pressure on HUF has been surging again in the past two days despite NBH efforts to protect the domestic currency.
  • In addition, as EU is asking for more concessions for fund access, the delays in EU funds could also continue to weigh on the economy and domestic asset prices in the medium term.
  • Today, the NBH will align its 1W and base rates at 9.75% following the aggressive 200bps hike last Thursday to protect the forint.
    • As a reminder, today was supposed to be a non-policy meeting.
  • EURHUF continues to trend higher this morning, currently trading slightly above the 410 level.
    • ST resistance to watch on the topside stands at 415.60.
