Zloty Aided by Reports of Positive Developments on EU Funds Front

PLN
BulletEM BulletEmerging Markets NewsHomepage
The Polish zloty has started the week on the front foot, with EURPLN down 0.75% on the day at typing, placing the cross at a fresh multi-year low. Losses accelerated through 4.3629 – last week’s lows – as single currency strength underpinned PLN strength. Increasing bearish momentum signals scope for an extension towards 4.3237, the Mar 12 2020 low, with several support levels having been broken last week.
  • PLNCZK is up 0.88% on the day. The cross looks set to close above the 5.6200 handle for the first time since September 2021. Meanwhile, PLNHUF is 0.78% firmer on the day and within close proximity to the mid-October highs at 87.28. Beyond this, YTD highs at 88.58 will be targeted.
  • Bloomberg reported earlier this afternoon that the European Commission plans in the coming weeks to sign off on a request by Poland’s outgoing nationalist government to tap a portion of around EUR23bln in loans and EUR2.8bln in grants. According to those familiar with the matter, once EU finance ministers confirm the commission’s decision at a Dec 8 meeting, Warsaw will be able to tap as much as 20% of those funds – around EUR5.2bln.
