The rate last trades at 4.3575, up 152 pips on the session, with bulls looking for gains past the 20-EMA at 4.3874. On the flip side, bears look for a dip through Nov 29 low of 4.3171 and Mar 4, 2020 low of 4.2870.

  • Poland's inflation edged lower to +6.5% Y/Y from +6.6% (versus +6.6% expected), with a jump in fuel prices providing the main pro-inflationary factor. Local sell-side desks pointed to a significant drop in core inflation, which may have eased to +7.3%-7.4% Y/Y from +8.0% (official core CPI readings will be published on December 18). NBP's Henryk Wnorowski noted that the data should not change the central bank's cautious approach.
  • Separately, final Q3 GDP prints were revised slightly higher to +0.5% Y/Y and +1.5% Q/Q. NBP's Ludwik Kotecki said that GDP growth for full 2023 may average at +0.1%-0.3% Y/Y.
