PLN: NBP Policy Statement, Comments from Fed's Waller Assisting PLN

PLN

The NBP’s policy statement may potentially be interpreted as hawkish at the margins, assisting the zloty off its worst levels of the day. However, it is more likely that EURPLN is moving in tandem with the weaker dollar on the back of comments from Fed’s Waller (see earlier posts).

  • The policy statement noted that inflation will remain “markedly” above target in the coming quarters while it also removed reference to the disinflationary impact of the zloty. Overall, the data-dependent tone of the statement was maintained.
  • Attention will turn to Governor Glapinski’s press conference tomorrow afternoon (14:00GMT/15:00CET). As a reminder, the Governor’s surprisingly hawkish comments last month were met by rebuttals from other MPC members, keeping the focus on inter-meeting communication moving forward.
