BUCHAREST, Oct 28 (Reuters) - The Polish zloty and Hungarian
forint fell to their weakest levels since the first wave of the
new coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday and Central European
stocks tumbled as governments weighed tightening restrictions
against to fight the virus.
By 0940 GMT, the Polish zloty fell 0.7% on the day
to 4.6145, its lowest since late-March as the country reported a
record 18,820 new coronavirus infections and 236 deaths on
Wednesday, facing hospitals overload while mass street protests
against an abortion ruling continue.
"Should the situation deteriorate further, more
restrictions, including lockdown like in the second quarter,
cannot be excluded," Raiffeisen said in a daily note.
"Simultaneously to the deteriorating pandemic Poland is
observing increasing political tensions with countrywide
protests in response to an extended ban on abortion released
last week."
The Hungarian forint fell 0.5% on the day to
367.1000, its lowest level since early April.
The Hungarian government has tightened rules on wearing mask
in shops, events and public transport, but has so far refrained
from imposing more severe restrictions as it is trying to limit
the economic fallout.
"The forint continues to hover around critical levels. It is
increasingly likely that it will try to break the resistance at
366.40 to the euro soon," brokerage Equilor said in a note.
Elsewhere in the region, the Romanian leu was flat
against the euro. A widening budget deficit kept Romanian assets
under pressure, but a successful euro-denominated domestic debt
tender on Tuesday gave the finance ministry some breathing room,
analysts said.
A potential new national lockdown in France and tighter
curbs elsewhere in Europe have rattled investors struggling to
gauge the impact on fourth-quarter economic activity.
By 0940 GMT, Warsaw"s blue chip index led losses,
down 1.8% on the day. Stocks in Budapest and Bucharest
fell 1.4% and 1.0%, respectively. Czech markets were
closed for a public holiday.
