No price statement: there is no price data for this asset. Based on 77 news items.
What drives it
- Forint weakness has pushed EUR/HUF above 365 as energy rebounds and dollar strength weigh on CEE currencies.
- ING keeps a bearish stance on Central European currencies and sees further downside for the forint.
- ECB officials Nagel and Lane have signalled a December rate hike, a supportive signal for the euro.
- Euro short positions are the highest since early 2020, leaving room for a sharp short squeeze.
What argues against it
- The euro has slid to an 18-month low against the dollar near 1.1066 and remains broadly under pressure.
- Rabobank warns the ECB may be reluctant to hike beyond December amid growing concern about growth.
- German CPI confirmed easing price pressures in October, giving the euro no fresh support.
- A dense euro-area calendar, from a Lagarde speech to GDP and CPI data, brings event risk in the coming days.
What would change the picture
- Lagarde speaks shortly and euro-area GDP follows; both could shift expectations for a December hike.
- Euro-area CPI due in the coming days landing better or worse than expected could reset the euro's path.
- Upcoming Hungarian GDP data could alter the forint outlook, and with it the pair.
Coming up

Frequently asked questions about Euro / Hungarian Forint
What lies behind the euro's gain against the forint?
Energy price rebounds and broad dollar strength have weighed on Central European currencies, and the forint weakened with EUR/HUF moving above 365. Hungarian rates rose roughly 5-8 basis points along the curve, and ING keeps a bearish view on the region, seeing further downside for the forint.
Why is the verdict neutral when the forint looks clearly weak?
The pair's own news points up, but the euro side is split. Hawkish signals from ECB officials Nagel and Lane support a December hike, yet the euro hit an 18-month low against the dollar and Rabobank doubts the ECB will hike beyond December. These forces roughly offset each other, keeping the balance neutral.
Which upcoming events could move this pair?
ECB President Lagarde speaks shortly, followed by an EU leaders summit and euro-area GDP figures. Later in the week come ZEW sentiment surveys and euro-area inflation data. Outcomes for the euro better or worse than expected would matter most, and Hungarian GDP could shift the forint side.
