Poland Resolute on EU Veto; PiS Approval Wanes As Turbulence Continues

POLAND
  • Polish Local rates open marginally lower across the curve, following on from yesterday's session.
  • 2Y yields move deeper into negative territory - now trading at -0.018, while 10Y yields hold around 1.16 support.
  • USD/PLN fails to break 3.76 to the downside, moving sharply higher above 3.78 on USD strength and broad-based risk aversion with signs of a bullish engulfing candle forming on the daily chart if we see a daily close above 3.785.
  • NBP will be hoping for more upside in the currency to offset pressures on the recovery. Price action will remain vulnerable to EU budget headline risks and risk off sentiment, with increased risk aversion opening up a move back towards 3.80 resistance.
  • Focus will be on EU member comments regarding excluding Poland and Hungary from the budget or finding a middle ground for compromise. Overnight comments suggest the former resolution may be gaining traction.
