Crown leads gains as risk aversion eases
By Anita Komuves
BUDAPEST, June 25 (Reuters) -The Czech crown led gains in central Europe on Tuesday, extending a rise from the previous session following steep losses last week, when the crown fell to a six-week low as a risk-off sentiment weighed on emerging markets.
The crown EURCZK= added 0.28% versus the euro and was trading at 24.815 as investors were looking ahead to the rate meeting of the Czech National Bank (CNB) scheduled for Thursday.
Markets expect another rate cut from the bank but uncertainty around the size of the CBN's move could put pressure on the crown, analysts have said. The bank has cut its key rate by 50 basis points at each of its past three meetings, part of a 175-bp easing cycle started in December. Analysts see the bank opting now for a 25-bp cut.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian forint EURHUF= firmed 0.11% at 394.80 per euro.
"A bit of positive mood returned to the region, currencies are stronger after their big weakening last week," an FX trader in Budapest said.
"However, I expect risk aversion to return as we get closer to the French election at the weekend, so this firming can only be considered a correction," she said.
Market participants turned risk-averse as the snap election in France, in which the far right National Rally (RN) party and its allies were leading polls, added to global political uncertainties, traders and analysts have said.
Elsewhere, the Polish zloty EURPLN= edged up 0.05% at 4.2935 versus the common currency.
Risk aversion prompted by the French election was expected to keep the zloty under pressure this week, but it was unlikely to significantly weaken the zloty's rate, Bank Millennium wrote in a note.
"Political risk will most likely not allow the zloty to simply return to the levels at the turn of May and June, i.e. around 4.27," it said.
