EM FX
  • CEE currencies, which have been significantly impacted by the Russia-related tensions in the second half of January, have been retracing higher this week amid RUB rebound.
  • PLN is the best performing currency among the EM world, up 1.4% against the US dollar since the start of the week.
  • Momentum on the CZK has also been firm ahead of the CNB meeting (Feb 3); the koruna is up over 1% against the greenback.
