Risk Off Sentiment Pushes HUF To New Record Lows

HUNGARY
  • The sustained risk off sentiment this week has left risky assets vulnerable, with CEE FX experiencing significant selling pressure.
  • HUF continues to be driven by external factors (i.e. market and geopolitical uncertainty) and is constantly testing new all-time lows against the EUR and the USD.
  • We previously saw that the forint is 'extremely undervalued' relative to its 'fair' value looking at either a fundamental approach or historical ranges.
  • For instance, HUF is currently trading 35% below its 'fundamental' value, the most undervalued currency among the G10/CEE world.
