Hungarian Forint: HUF strength and euro adoption outlook – Societe Generale
Societe Generale notes EUR/HUF rebounded from its 50-day moving average after a downside surprise in Hungarian CPI. Inflation remains below the MNB target, with the stronger Forint helping to curb price pressures and keep underlying trends subdued.
Societe Generale reports that the EUR/HUF exchange rate has rebounded from its 50-day moving average following a surprise in Hungarian consumer price index (CPI) data. Hungary's inflation remains below the target set by the National Bank of Hungary (MNB), with the stronger forint contributing to dampened price pressures and subdued underlying trends.
Finance Minister Karman and MNB Deputy Governor Kurali have commented on the potential rally of HUFGB (Hungarian forint government bonds) and the timing of euro adoption. Inflation in Hungary surged from 1.3% in August to 1.6% in September, 1.4 percentage points below the MNB's target. The stronger forint helped to curb price pressures, while underlying price trends remained restrained.
