Surging USD Pushed EURHUF Back Above 400 Level

HUNGARY
  • The strong bounce on the US Dollar yesterday has been significantly weighing on the forint, with EURHUF breaking back above the 400 level this morning.
  • We previously saw that HUF has been extremely sensitive to the rise in risk aversion (i.e. USD strength) in the past 18 months.
  • The chart below shows the strong co-movement between EURHUF and DXY index since the start of 2021.
  • Next ST resistance to watch on the topside stands at 404.60.
  • Hungary’s outlook was revised to negative by S&P as external risks, reduced gas flows and delays in EU funds could continue to weigh significantly on the economic activity.
