Central-European currencies weaken amid general risk-off mood and firming dollar
By Boldizsar Gyori
BUDAPEST, July 2 (Reuters) -The Hungarian forint and the Polish zloty led losses in central Europe on Tuesday as a risk-off mood prevailed in emerging markets and the dollar strengthened.
The Polish zloty EURPLN= was trading at a 10-day low of 4.328 at 1019 GMT after briefly firming past the psychological level of 4.3 euros during Monday's trading.
"The zloty returned above the level of 4.3113 per EUR, which, based on technical analysis, changes the picture to a less favourable one for the Polish currency," Bank Millennium said in a note.
"We also believe that the persistence of political risk... will not allow the region's currencies to appreciate strongly," the bank added, referring to the second round of French elections this weekend after the far right won the first round.
Hungary's forint EURHUF= led losses in the region by weakening 0.4%, trading at 396.35, due to global factors such as the strengthening of the dollar and eurozone inflation, Zoltan Arokszallasi, head of analysis at Equilor said.
"The forint's movement seems to be influenced by global factors, such as the U.S. dollar or the eurozone inflation, which would show the rate path for the European Central Bank," Arokszallasi said.
Consumer inflation in the 20 nations sharing the euro currency slowed to 2.5% in June from 2.6% a month earlier, in line with expectations.
The figures are unlikely to provide the ECB much clarity on where prices will go. ECB President Christine Lagarde had already said that more time is needed to be certain, so there should be no hurry to ease policy further.
The next forint-specific data that investors will be watching are on retailers and industry output, scheduled to be published on Friday this week, Arokszallasi said.
The Czech crown EURCZK= weakened by 0.2% and hit late-Aprils lows at 25.2.
