BUDAPEST, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Central European currencies held stable on Wednesday, having briefly weakened after U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday that negotiations about a new fiscal stimulus would stop until after the Nov. 3 election.
The announcement led to larger moves on the FX market Tuesday evening, Equilor wrote in a note.
Some emerging currencies, including the Hungarian forint, weakened as the announcement led to a risk-off mood and a strengthening of the dollar, they added.
The sour mood was replaced on Wednesday by optimism a stimulus package would be introduced after the election.
The forint EURHUF= was up 0.1% on Wednesday, trading at 359.450 versus the common currency.
Investors were also eyeing the Polish central bank’s rate decision later today. All 16 analysts polled by Reuters expect the key interest rate to remain on hold at a record low of 0.1%.
Poland’s central bank has cut the cost of borrowing three times by a cumulative 140 basis points since March.
“Governor Adam Glapinski views the job of NBP as mainly to ‘support’ the economy at this time,” Commerzbank wrote in a note. “Such a stance weighs down on the zloty exchange rate.”
The currency EURPLN= edged down 0.04% at 4.4828 per euro.
Elsewhere, the Czech crown EURCZK= was up 0.07% at 26.980 per euro, testing the psychological level of 27 after firming towards it in recent days.
The pandemic is still a concern in the Czech Republic where cases are now rising at the fastest rate in Europe when adjusted for population.
Stocks were mixed, with Bucharest’s equities .BETI firming 0.21% while Warsaw’s blue chip index .WIG20 weakened 0.81%. Budapest’s stock market .BUX was down 0.6%.
Prague .PX slid 0.08% while shares in Central European Media Enterprises CETV.PRCETV.O rose over 4% after the European Commission approved Czech investment group PPF’s bid to buy the broadcaster.
