PLN

EUR/PLN changes hands at 4.2824, down 20 pips on the day, holding onto a relatively tight range. Bears look for a move towards the 4.25 support zone as well as Jul 15 low of 4.2471. Conversely, bulls see Aug 28/Sep 12 highs of 4.3039/43 as their initial target.

  • The latest S&P Global survey showed that the contraction in Poland's manufacturing sector may have moderated more than expected, with headline index recovering to 48.6 versus 47.3 expected. S&P commented that the recent outturns are "indicating a further easing of the downturn in manufacturing."
  • The National Bank of Poland (NBP) begins its monetary policy meeting today. Virtually all analysts expect another on-hold decision, but a debate on cutting rates may start in early 2025.
  • POLGBs are marginally firmer today, with yields last seen 0.3-1.1bp lower. The Finance Ministry said that it is planning to sell PLN40bn-60bn worth of bonds at 6-7 auctions in 4Q2024.
  • The WIG20 Index tumbled 2.5% yesterday and is extending those losses, losing a further 0.9% this morning.
