Yesterday's Recap
Turkey's June inflation rate printed exactly in line with consensus at 0.99% month-over-month and 32.11% year-over-year, confirming the prior month's deceleration. The outcome reflected softer food prices and cheaper imports. Polish assets led gains, with the iShares Poland ETF advancing 1.94% to 39.44 while the Poland 10-year yield rose 2.87% to 5.74%.
Hungarian 10-year yields fell sharply by 9.89% to 5.65%, supporting EUR/HUF which eased 0.40% to 353.46. BIST 100 slipped 0.04% to 14,449.74 as USD/TRY climbed 0.26% to 46.80. Broader CEE currencies held steady against the euro, with EUR/CZK little changed at 24.20.
Gold rose 1.89% to 4,190.30 while Brent crude added 0.14% to 71.90. Poland's Finance Minister noted that lower-than-expected inflation removes near-term grounds for NBP rate hikes. Hungary secured over 500 million euros in EU energy funding from the Modernization Fund.
Romania's Q1 GDP revision supports its convergence path.
The Day Ahead
No major data releases are scheduled for Emerging Europe today or tomorrow. Markets will monitor follow-through from the Turkish inflation print and any comments from Polish Finance Minister Domański on rate stability. Regional equity flows may remain light ahead of the US holiday.
Attention could turn to EU cohesion fund disbursements already approved for Poland and Hungary energy projects. Traders will watch USD/TRY for signs of further CBRT intervention. Broader risk sentiment stays supported by gold's advance and contained Brent moves.
Other Economic Notes
Poland's lower-than-expected CPI trajectory removes near-term grounds for NBP rate hikes, according to Minister Domański. Hungary secured over 500 million euros in EU energy funding from the Modernization Fund. Romania's euro-adoption timeline remains on track for 2029 per European Commission guidance.
Energy import dependence continues to expose the region to external price shocks despite recent Brent stability. Czech industrial output showed modest resilience amid soft EU demand. Poland's May employment rose 0.4% m/m, in line with expectations.
