Yesterday's Recap
Equity markets across Emerging Europe closed lower on 29 September. BIST 100 fell 2.40% to 12,290.60 while iShares Poland declined 1.04% to 44.20. FX moves remained contained with EUR/PLN easing 0.04% to 4.37 and EUR/HUF slipping 0.03% to 366.45, though EUR/CZK rose 0.20% to 24.43.
Brent crude dropped sharply by 6.06% to 96.37, pressuring energy importers. Poland published its draft 2027 budget assuming 3% GDP growth without additional pre-election spending measures. Turkey’s final August trade balance and unemployment prints are scheduled for overnight release alongside Poland’s inflation preview.
No macro data emerged from Czech Republic, Hungary or Romania. Hungary’s central-bank deputy governor reiterated support for euro accession to strengthen policy credibility.
The Day Ahead
Overnight releases dominate the calendar for 30 September. Poland’s September inflation rate YoY preliminary carries a consensus of 3.6%, up from 3.4% prior, and will shape NBP policy expectations. Turkey reports final August trade balance, expected at –5.24 bn USD versus –7.34 bn prior, and headline unemployment rate.
No central-bank meetings, EU summits or sovereign debt auctions are scheduled for 30 September or 1 October. Markets will monitor whether the Polish print alters rate-cut timing relative to the ECB’s 2.50% deposit rate. Turkey’s data will feed directly into CBRT inflation monitoring.
Energy import dependence remains a shared vulnerability for the four EU members, with Brent’s 6% drop offering temporary relief to current-account balances.
Other Economic Notes
Poland’s 2027 budget framework signals fiscal restraint ahead of elections, supporting convergence toward euro-area criteria. Regional equities showed limited spillover from US developments, underscoring domestic drivers. Turkey continues to operate under distinct macro dynamics with structurally higher inflation than its EU peers.
Hungary’s central-bank deputy governor publicly backed euro adoption to anchor long-term policy credibility. The CNB and MNB remain the most responsive to ECB signals given their open economies and inflation-targeting frameworks. Romania’s BNR continues to monitor convergence criteria without immediate rate pressure.
