Key Quotes

“Following the first CNB interest rate hike in August, we look for further EUR/CZK depreciation ahead, based on relative monetary policy divergence as well as strong Czech economic fundamentals”.

“Profit-taking on sizeable short EUR/CZK positions accumulated in the market will, however, prevent any rapid CZK appreciation”.

“As a reaction to the CNB move, we have slightly lowered our short-term EUR/CZK forecast profile to 26.00 in 1M, 25.90 in 3M, 25.70 in 6M and 25.50 in 12M”.
