Hungary’s central bank kept rates unchanged but struck a notably dovish tone, opening the door to rate cuts and pushing markets to price in deeper easing, with EUR/HUF facing renewed upside pressure, ING's FX analyst Frantisek Taborsky notes.
The National Bank of Hungary is expected to keep its policy rate at 6.50% for a 14th straight meeting, maintaining a hawkish stance as inflation remains above target.
EUR/HUF has staged a strong rebound after touching the lower end of its multi-month range near 386. The pair is now testing the 50-day moving average, a key resistance that has limited gains since June, Société Générale's FX analysts note.
