In its weekly summary, Equilor Investment Ltd. highlighted the 25 basis point cut in the base rate, as reported by the National Bank of Hungary (MNB) on Tuesday. They added that the decision did not cause any significant exchange rate reaction, and the forint even strengthened slightly as a result of cautious communication from the central bank. Based on market pricing, they see the possibility of a further 50 basis point interest rate cut this year, but this also depends on inflation trends.
