NBH To Readjust 1W Depo and Base Rates At July 12 Meeting

HUNGARY
  • EURHUF has been consolidating sharply this afternoon following the NBH headline on the realignments on rates.
  • The central bank announced yesterday that it will align the 1-week depo rate and the base rate at the July 12 meeting (which was supposed to be non-policy meeting) after raising its W depo rate by 200bps to 9.75%.
  • It is clear that Hungary policymakers are ready to do ‘whatever they can’ to protect the forint, which has been depreciating sharply against major crosses (EUR, USD).
  • EURHUF found resistance at 415.60 yesterday, and has fallen over 10 figures and is currently trading slightly above the 402 level.
  • Next support to watch on the downside stands at 400.
  • Economic data to watch this morning will be CPI inflation, expected to accelerate to 11.5% in June, up from 10.7% the previous month.
