CZK: Koruna Continues To Lose Ground

Mar-14 09:26

EUR/CZK consolidates above the 25.0 mark and last deals +0.053 at 25.091 and bulls look to a clean break above the 50-DMA (25.096) before targeting the 200-DMA/100-DMA (25.157/25.158). On the flip side, the focus is on 24.896, the low print of Feb 26. Local headline flow has been relatively thin, leaving the koruna exposed to external drivers.

  • The PX Index broke above this month's peak, rallying to fresh all-time highs. It last operates 1.2% above neutral levels.
  • CZGB yields are mostly a touch lower.
