Yesterday's Recap
Turkish inflation data dominated regional focus. The July CPI rose 1.78% m/m, below the 1.83% consensus, while the annual rate printed at 31.75% versus 31.8% expected. The preliminary trade balance improved to -7.4 billion USD from -10.37 billion USD previously.
Equity markets responded positively, with the BIST 100 advancing 0.70% to 13,798.80 and the iShares Poland ETF rising 0.87% to 44.06. EUR/PLN edged up 0.06% to 4.30 while EUR/HUF climbed 1.08% to 365.14 and EUR/CZK gained 0.25% to 24.24. Poland and Hungary 10-year yields declined 4.01% to 5.51% and 6.90% to 5.26% respectively, reflecting improved sentiment.
Brent crude gained 1.29% to 83.55 USD per barrel amid broader commodity strength, while gold rose 2.28% to 4,338.80 and Bitcoin slipped 0.46% to 64,299.07. USD/TRY increased 0.32% to 47.70.
The Day Ahead
Markets enter a data-light session with no scheduled releases from Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania or Turkey. Attention will turn to any follow-up comments from Czech National Bank officials after yesterday's inflation print. Regional currencies may react to ECB speakers and US data later in the global session.
Energy prices remain a watchpoint given ongoing heat-related supply strains in central Europe. Investors will also monitor lira stability after the narrower Turkish trade gap. Sovereign yields could see further compression if risk sentiment holds, while commodity moves in Brent and gold may influence broader CEE flows.
Other Economic Notes
Extreme heat across central and eastern Europe has forced temporary shutdowns of Polish coal-fired plants at Kozienice and Połaniec, adding to regional energy-supply concerns. The European Commission released the next 1.8 billion euro tranche to Romania under the Recovery and Resilience Facility after judicial milestones were met. Hungary's access to cohesion funds stays partially frozen pending further rule-of-law progress.
Broader EU drought conditions continue to constrain inland waterway transport on the Rhine and Danube, raising logistics costs for export-oriented manufacturers in Poland and the Czech Republic. Slovakia recorded a new temperature high of 42C.
