EUR/PLN: Tighter Polish monetary policy to support the zloty – Danske Bank

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

European recovery and inflation are supporting the Polish zloty. Therefore, economists at Danske Bank expect the EUR/PLN to grind lower towards 4.42 over the next months.

Early Fed policy tightening could weigh on PLN

“The Polish central bank will probably be forced to hike rates to dampen higher inflationary pressures. Combined with Poland’s relatively strong external balances, we expect PLN to gradually strengthen, even though markets are already pricing several rate hikes over the next year. However, higher inflation in Poland is likely to push EUR/PLN slightly higher in the longer term.”

“A stronger USD resulting from earlier Fed policy tightening and/or global economic headwinds could weaken PLN.”

“More aggressive policy tightening by the Polish central bank than in our baseline could strengthen PLN significantly.”

“EUR/PLN forecast: 4.54 (1M), 4.48 (3M), 4.42 (6M), 4.45 (12M), 4.45 (end-2022).”

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December.

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
