We remain worried about ZAR and HUF

Market movers ahead: Will the SARB cut again?


Rate decisions in Hungary and South Africa are the main events to watch next week.
MNB stays on hold
In Hungary we expect the Hungarian central bank to stay on hold keeping the key policy
rate at 5.25% as the recent sell-off in forint and the increased uncertainty outlook for
fiscal policy probably mean that easing cycle has come to an end.

South African rate decision will undoubtedly prove interesting to follow as the
uncertainty about the outcome is fairly high. While consensus expect the South African
central bank (SARB) to stay on hold we see a chance of yet another 50bp rate cut. That
would bring the key policy rate to 6.00% in South Africa. For the rate reduction argues

recent dovish comments from the SARB governor Gill Marcus, inflation development but
also recent data from the economy, which mostly surprised on the downside signalling
that economic recovery is losing steam.
Will the SARB deliver another cut?

FX Outlook: CZK back on the top spot


Last week our EMEA FX Scorecard overall send relatively bearish signals. The bearish
signals are not quite as strong now, but nonetheless the Scorecard is still overall negative
and we would therefore overall continue to expect some pressure on the EMEA
currencies going forward in next 1-3 months. That said the signal is certainly not a
“massive sell” signal and the Scorecard is in fact positive on three out of the seven

currencies in the Scorecard – CZK, PLN and TRY.

The Czech koruna is now back as the top scorer and CZK also remain the currency with
the strong potential for strengthening over the longer term due to attractive valuation.
Therefore we feel pretty confident in recommending investors to continue to be long the
Czech currency both against its region peers and USD and EUR.

This week we updated our FX forecasts. Read more in the July version of the Emerging
Markets Briefer.

Scorecard-based trade of the week Buy CZK/ZAR


Last week we recommended buying RON/ZAR based on our EMEA FX Scorecard. That
trade is up a bit over the week. This week the rand is still the lowest scoring currency in
the EMEA FX Scorecard, while the Czech koruna now is the highest scoring currency in
the Scorecard. We therefore recommend buying CZK/ZAR going into next week.

Fixed income market update


Review: CEE inflation surprises on the upside
It has been relatively calm on the EMEA fixed income markets over the past week, but EMEA swap rate performance
some notable news could however longer-term implications for the EMEA markets. We 2Y IRS Mid level 1W chg - bp
especially have noted that both Hungarian and Polish inflation surprised on the upside in CZK 1.66 4
June and though it did not move Hungarian and Polish yields much it is pretty clear that HUF 5.89 5
especially the Polish inflation outlook have been changing a bit recently. Since we PLN 4.61 6
publish our latest Macro Monitor on Poland on June 26 we have been warning that RUB 5.45 -2
TRY 7.54 -3
inflation could surprise on the upside going forward given the latest upside surprise on

Preview: Monetary Policy Tracker points to Polish rate hike
RUB 6.39 -37
Hence, with Polish inflation likely moving above the NBP’s inflation target in coming TRY 8.13 -16

and the labour market situation having stabilised. Therefore it was not a major surprise Source: Reuters Ecowin and Danske Markets

when NBP Monetary Policy Council member Andrzej Bratkowski this week in an
interview with the news agency Bloomberg hinted that it could be necessary to hike
NBP’s key policy rate presently at 3.50% relatively soon. Mr. Bratkowski did not give
any indication of the timing of these rate hikes, but it now seems pretty clear that we
could have a rate hike already this year. This was further underlined by the Minutes from
the MPC meeting in the Polish central bank showed that some MPC members wanted a
rate hike already in June. The Minutes was published on Thursday.

We now tend to think that the rather hike could come already in the coming months –
which is earlier than currently priced by the market and earlier than the consensus
expectation which probably at the moment sees rate hikes in Q4 rather than in Q3. Hence,
we would still be positioned for higher Polish rates and yields especially in the very short
end of the curve.
