Sell-Side Desks Undecided on Impact of July Inflation on Short-Term Rate Prospects

HUNGARY
  • Goldman Sachs say that while inflation has been improving, the Forint has recently come under depreciation pressure and remains vulnerable to risk-off shocks. They believe that the recent weakness poses an upside risk to short-term rate prospects.
  • JP Morgan say the NBH will stay on predictable path till September, but what happens next is more uncertain with risks building for 4Q23 base rate cuts. By September, they expect that the latest available data will still show core inflation around 14-15%oya, and given the central bank’s preference for caution, they would expect a pause in the cutting cycle there, to be re-initiated at the start of 2024.
  • ING say that the July inflation figure does not change the big picture as it is anticipated that disinflation will continue. In light of the data, ING say a single-digit inflation rate at the end of the year looks certain and that we could see a sub-10% rate as early as November. However, in ING’s view, the July inflation indicator is unlikely to have a significant impact on monetary policy.
