The Polish Zloty is facing downward pressure against the Euro as dovish signals from the National Bank of Poland fuel expectations of future rate cuts, according to ING strategist Frantisek Taborsky. Market pricing now reflects anticipated monetary easing from the Polish central bank, creating headwinds for the currency in the near term.
ING’s proprietary models suggest EUR/PLN could move toward 4.340, representing Zloty weakness from current levels. The forecast comes as Central and Eastern European currencies are increasingly driven by secondary economic data and shifting policy expectations rather than primary indicators. Traders focused on the region should monitor upcoming NBP communications and Polish economic data releases for confirmation of the dovish trajectory.
The development affects currency traders with PLN exposure, Polish exporters and importers managing forex risk, and emerging market funds with CEE allocations. Taborsky emphasizes that policy expectations will remain the dominant driver for regional FX pairs in coming sessions.
