Central European stock markets tumble on U.S worries
WARSAW, Aug 5 (Reuters) -Central European stock markets tumbled on Monday after weak U.S. labour data raised investors' fears of a U.S. recession and deeper rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
Friday's data, coming on top of a string of weak earnings reports from technology companies and concerns over the Chinese economy, drove a global sell-off in stock markets, oil and high-yielding currencies. The selling continued on Monday.
The Warsaw stock exchange blue-chip index .WIG20 fell 2.8%, the Prague bourse .PX was down 2.5%, and the market in Budapest .BUX fell 2.25%.
"We are reacting to these global moods... There is a lot of negative sentiment on the market, and of course this also affects our market, and of course there are also liquidity issues," Erste Securities analyst Lukasz Janczak said.
"There is simply much less liquidity and the moves we see are intensified. Investors somehow began to price in interest rate cuts very aggressively."
However, currencies in the region were mostly stable, except for the Polish zloty EURPLN= which fell 0.4% to 4.3055 per euro at 08.18 GMT.
"We start the new week with further deepening of the sale of riskier assets and at the same time redirecting capital towards safe bonds," Bank Millennium analysts wrote in a note.
"Interestingly, the zloty remains relatively calm for now, although we also believe that the EUR/PLN exchange rate will move above the level of 4.30 (with a target of 4.33)."
The Czech crown EURCZK= was slightly up at 25.2840 per euro, after data showed retail sales rose 4.4% year on year in June.
Thursday's 25-basis-point cut, described by Czech central bank governor Ales Michl as "hawkish", brought the main repo rate CZCBIR=ECI to 4.50% and came after four 50-basis-point moves.
The Hungarian forint EURHUF= was stable at 397.6500 per euro.
"Expectations for forint interest rates have also fallen a lot, and for the time being there is no sign here that the (central bank) will respond to the current market turmoil, at least based on current market pricing," MBH Bank said in a note.
"Until international sentiment improves and we see lower expectations for forint rates, the forint may continue to weaken."
