EUR/PLN: Range trading around 200DMA – Societe Generale

Societe Generale strategists observe that EUR/PLN has recently rebounded after defending an ascending trend line from February 2025 near 4.2100. The pair continues to oscillate around the 200-DMA, lacking clear direction. They expect short-term price action to remain confined between 4.2100 and 4.2600, with a break of either boundary needed to confirm a new trend.

Polish Zloty held in technical range

"In Poland, the forecast of today’s NBP meeting is no change at 3.75%. A hawkish statement or press conference tomorrow by Governor Glapiński could drive EUR/PLN back below 200dma (4.2437). Renewed policy tightening is unlikely based on the assumption that inflation hovers inside the tolerance band over the medium term."

"The upside surprise in April [CPI] was largely fuel and energy led despite price caps and tax cuts. Vigilance over oil prices, second round effects and the possibility of future tightening should keep front end paying interest intact in the short term."

"Having said that, forwards already imply up to four hikes over 12 months to 4.75% and we are of the view that market pricing should gradually subside, boosting the front end."

"EUR/PLN recently defended the ascending trend line drawn from February 2025 near 4.2100, resulting in a rebound. The pair has experienced crisscross moves around the 200-DMA, highlighting a lack of clear direction. "

"Short-term price action could remain contained within a range defined by the limits of 4.2100 and the recent pivot high at 4.2600. A move beyond either of these bands will be crucial in confirming a directional move."

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.
