Weak US Data Allow Zloty To Claw Back Losses

PLN

Weak US data have supported the EM FX space, with EUR/PLN reversing its earlier gains to last trade at 4.4639, down 28 pips on the day.

  • POLGBs are firmer across the curve, unwinding losses registered on the back of the 2024 budget draft at the turn of the week, with 10-year yield dipping below the 5.6% mark. Equity benchmark WIG20 Index has added ~0.6% today.
  • The NBP reverted to the original date for its next monetary policy meeting, sowing some confusion. None of the recent changes of schedule were announced, with wires reporting them based on the calendar on the NBP's website. As things stand, the MPC will meet on September 5-6.
  • Flash August CPI and final Q2 GDP will steal the limelight tomorrow, with both due to cross the wires at 09:00BST/10:00CEST. BBG consensus expects inflation to ease to +10.0% Y/Y, while MPC's Henryk Wnorowski today said that it could reach single digits, which is a key condition for lowering interest rates.
