PLN: Souring Sentiment Weighs on Zloty, PLN/JPY Sheds Over 1%

PLN

Post-CPI weakness in equities has hit PLN harder than it has its regional peers, with USDPLN extending this week’s gains to reach its highest level since mid-August. Topside momentum for EURPLN accelerated through the 50-day EMA, with gains currently at 0.3%.

  • Notably, strength in the Japanese yen has prompted a 1% dip in PLNJPY, with that cross now 5% below last week’s highs and approaching multi-month lows at 35.84. The WIG20 index also leads regional losses, down 1.6% today and lower for the fifth consecutive session.
  • For EURPLN, short-term conditions are considered bearish despite the cross holding onto its recent gains. A break of resistance at 4.3039, the Aug 28 high, would reinstate a bullish theme. Until then, focus remains on key support at 4.2614, the Aug 16 low.
