Yesterday's Recap
Emerging Europe equities ended mixed as global risk appetite waned. Turkey's BIST 100 fell 1.23% to 14,598.50, weighed by lira depreciation and profit-taking in banks. Poland's iShares ETF rose 1.83% to 39.57, buoyed by resilient banking sector performance.
Hungary's 10Y yield climbed 10.03% to 7.13%, reflecting budget deficit worries ahead of 2026 fiscal talks. Poland's 10Y yield spiked 11.82% to 5.58%, the sharpest move, on rising term premiums linked to NBP hold expectations. FX was steady: EUR/PLN dipped 0.10% to 4.25, EUR/HUF rose 0.29% to 358.33, EUR/CZK +0.01% to 24.32, USD/TRY +0.02% to 45.41.
No major data releases occurred yesterday across Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, or Turkey.
The Day Ahead
Poland releases Q1 GDP growth preliminary estimates at 03:30 ET, with q/q prior 1% and y/y 4%; consensus absent, but downside risks from weak external demand loom for the CEE anchor economy. A soft print could bolster NBP pause calls amid cooling core inflation. Turkey's Consumer Confidence Index due May 18 at 03:00 ET, prior 85.5; persistent lira weakness may drag sentiment lower.
No events slated for Czech Republic, Hungary, or Romania today. Watch Polish GDP for eurozone trade spillover signals given 6.70% Eurozone unemployment.
Other Economic Notes
Regional energy import bills remain elevated with Brent at 106.17 (+0.51%), straining Turkey and CEE current accounts amid Russian gas cutoff risks. EU fund inflows support Romania's infrastructure but Hungary faces absorption delays over rule-of-law disputes. Poland's convergence metrics hold firm versus Maastricht criteria, unlike Turkey's inflation gap; Czech retail resilience aids CNB soft-landing narrative.
Global Macro News
Bank of Canada announces rates today at 09:45 ET, with Business Outlook Survey and Market Participants Survey at 10:30-11:30 ET, signaling steady policy amid sticky inflation and indirectly pressuring CEE yields via global bond spillovers. ECB deposit rate steady at 2.00% supports CNB/MNB easing bets as Eurozone unemployment at 6.70%. Russia's 800+ drone assault on Ukraine escalates energy security fears for gas-dependent Poland and Hungary.
