Buy EUR/HUF

Danske Bank A/S


We recommend buying EUR/HUF. The overall risk sentiment is weak following the weak retail sales data out of US yesterday – see EMEA daily. We therefore look for upside risk on EUR/HUF in the coming days.

HUF – Highly sensitive towards changes in risk appetite

The Hungarian forint (HUF) is highly sensitive towards declining global risk appetite. Yesterday the forint significantly underperformed its peers as it dropped more than 2% against the euro as risk appetite faded.

The forint has had a very good run since the beginning of March where it set new lows against the euro (around EUR/HUF 317). Given the worsening of risk sentiment in the last two days, we think markets are likely to test the forint once again sending EUR/HUF back above 300.

The technical picture supports this view – see Danske Technical Update. EUR/HUF broke through several key resistance levels this morning.

Risk factors:

A key risk to the present recommendation would be if the risk sentiment improves, which would send global equity markets higher and most likely EUR/HUF lower.
