Yesterday's Recap
Equity markets posted modest gains across Emerging Europe on September 6. The BIST 100 index rose 0.57% to 14,012.40 while the iShares Poland ETF climbed 1.28% to 45.12. Sovereign yields tightened sharply with Poland’s 10-year yield declining 4.01% to 5.51% and Hungary’s 10-year yield dropping 6.90% to 5.26%.
FX markets showed mixed moves as EUR/PLN eased 0.15% to 4.31 and EUR/HUF fell 1.52% to 361.38, though EUR/CZK edged 0.19% higher to 24.21. No macroeconomic data releases occurred in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania or Turkey. Poland dominated regional news flow with rising incidents of violence against Ukrainians linked to intensified right-wing political rhetoric and Warsaw’s push for tighter EU visa rules on Russian nationals.
Swedish imports of Polish waste for energy generation also increased markedly, underscoring cross-border energy linkages. Hungary’s forint reacted positively to market reports that the MNB could halt its easing cycle in September, with the currency strengthening 1.52% against the euro.
The Day Ahead
Markets will focus on Poland’s NBP interest rate decision scheduled for September 9 where consensus expects a hold at 3.75%. Turkey will release industrial production year-over-year figures on September 9 followed by the TCMB policy decision on September 10. No sovereign bond auctions or major EU summits are scheduled in the immediate window for the region.
Hungarian forint volatility may persist on ongoing speculation about the MNB’s September meeting. Regional investors will also monitor any spillover from euro-area inflation prints and ECB communications. Energy price stability remains a key watchpoint given shared import dependencies across Poland, Hungary and Romania.
Brent crude held steady at 96.28, offering limited immediate pressure on regional energy importers.
Other Economic Notes
Poland’s anti-Ukraine rhetoric risks complicating EU fund disbursements and bilateral trade ties at a time when Warsaw seeks to maintain growth momentum as the largest CEE economy. Hungary’s forint reaction to MNB pause speculation highlights sensitivity to any deviation from the easing path amid still-elevated inflation. <i>↓ p.2</i>
