USD\/HUF: Hungarian Economy To Reopen In May<\/h2>\n

The Hungarian Forint advanced on Friday and continues to trend higher today as investor\u2019s focus shifts towards the easing of lock down measures both in Hungary and Europe, particularly Germany, Hungary\u2019s largest trading partner.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Hungary will begin easing lock down restrictions early next month. Viktor Orban also added that he believed that the Hungarian economy would recover quickly from the impact of the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

So far, the month-long lock down has crushed the Hungarian economy, destroying thousands of jobs. Viktor Orban has said that it is a priority to rebuild the labour market. Think tank GKI has forecast that an additional 100,000 people will lose their jobs in April after 60,000 lost their jobs in March.<\/p>\n

Hungary will follow a path of easing lock down measures which is similar to neighbouring country Austria. This will include the reopening of schools, businesses and bars. However, the old, vulnerable and those living in big cities will remain in lock down for now.<\/p>\n

Adding to the good news, Germany, Hungary\u2019s largest trading partner recorded 1000 fewer new infections on Sunday and is carefully reopening the economy.<\/p>\n

US Dollar Declines On Steve Mnuchin\u2019s Optimism<\/h2>\n

The safe haven US Dollar is edging lower across the board on Monday amid a risk-on sentiment in the broader financial market. The mood in the market improved after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that he forecasts that the US economy will rebound strongly in the third quarter, owing to the huge levels of fiscal stimulus being injected into the system.<\/p>\n

There is no high impacting US economic data due to be released today. Investors will look ahead to Tuesday\u2019s consumer confidence data and Wednesday\u2019s Federal Reserve monetary policy announcement and GDP release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
