The Polish Zloty continues sliding against the Euro, with EUR/PLN breaking above its recent trading range to hit 4.290 as the National Bank of Poland maintains its dovish monetary policy stance. ING analyst Frantisek Taborsky reports the Zloty is underperforming across the Central and Eastern European currency space, pressured by the NBP’s accommodative approach amid deteriorating global risk sentiment.
The combination of Poland’s central bank reluctance to tighten policy and broader market risk aversion is creating a double headwind for PLN, distinguishing it negatively from regional peers. Traders watching CEE currencies should note the Zloty’s relative weakness signals potential further downside if global conditions worsen or the NBP maintains its current dovish trajectory. The break above the previous EUR/PLN range suggests technical resistance has given way, opening room for additional depreciation.

Zloty shorts remain attractive against both the Euro and stronger CEE currencies while NBP policy divergence persists and risk appetite deteriorates.
