PLN Weakness Has Been Weighing on Polish Equities

POLAND
  • Broad USD strength and dovish NBP keep weighing on PLN with USDPLN breaking above its 3.98 resistance today (March 31 high).
  • Next level to watch on the topside stands at 4, followed by 4.10 (May 2020 highs).
  • PLN has been one of the weakest EM FX performers in September, down nearly 4% against the US Dollar.
  • As a result, Polish equities have been consolidating lower in recent weeks after finding a local high at 2,416 in the beginning of the month.
  • WIG20 index is currently trading slightly above its 100DMA at 2,261.50; a break below that level would open the door for a move down to 2,200 (23.6% Fibo of the 1,497 - 2,416 range).
