Hungarian Lock Down Extended Indefinitely<\/h2>\n

The Hungarian Forint has come under pressure after 3 consecutive days of gains as global risk sentiment takes a turn for the worse on Monday. Coronavirus cases continue to climb, and lock downs are being extended.<\/p>\n

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban extended the lock down in Hungary indefinitely. Hungary has 1458 confirmed cases and 109 deaths. The lock down measures were introduced last month and the government has said that they will review the lock down measures weekly.<\/p>\n

These restrictive measures, plus tumbling oil prices mean that the National Bank of Hungary now expects inflation to slow to 2.6% – 2.8% this year, below its previous forecast of 4%. The central bank has also revised downwards its growth forecast. The economy is expected to contract in the first half of the year and rebound in the second half.<\/p>\n

There is no economic data due until Thursday when investors will look towards construction output for February.<\/p>\n

US Dollar Looks To Earning Season<\/h2>\n

The US is trending broadly lower versus its major peers, extending losses from the previous week, when the Federal Reserve announced additional support to the tune of $2.3 trillion. The Fed\u2019s announcement came as the number of American citizens signing up for unemployment insurance jumped 6.6 million in the week ending 3rd<\/sup> April. This puts the total over a three-week period at approximately 15 million or 10% of US workforce.<\/p>\n

There is no US economic data to be released today. Investors will look to the start of US earning season tomorrow. US banks will kick off the season in which companies are expected to show the initial hit from coronavirus on profits and revenues. Any forward guidance given is also expected to show an even bigger impact in the second quarter. Very weak figures could boost demand for the safe haven US Dollar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
