Forint near historic lows against its regional counterpart

Portfolio
Yesterday, the forint weakened to 389 against the euro on the news of the Brussels infringement proceedings, before closing above 388 in the afternoon after a minimal gain. This morning the exchange rate opened at the same level, but there was some rebound against the dollar overnight, with the exchange rate falling below 360.

Today, there are no foreseeable events that will have a significant market-moving effect, and both domestic and international economic calendars are empty. There have been some minor fluctuations in the forint on Thursday morning, but there is no clear direction for the time being, with the euro trading around 388 forints, as it was yesterday evening.

The movement of the forint against the Polish złoty, its regional currency counterpart, is worth watching today. The forint could easily sink to a new historic low, and we have only seen a slightly weaker forint in the second half of 2022 than the current level.

The USD/EUR market is in its third day of correction, but the exchange rate is still well below the 1.08 level.
