WARSAW, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Central European stocks rose on
Tuesday, as a U.S. stimulus package added to optimism in global
markets surrounding the Brexit trade agreement and COVID-19
vaccination programmes.
The House of Representatives voted on Monday to more than
triple stimulus payments to $2,000 from $600, sending the plan
on to the Senate for a vote.
At 1028 GMT stock markets in Prague, Warsaw and Budapest
were up 0.6-0.8%.
"Global factors are decisive, the stimulus package in the
United States helps to keep the good mood," said Bartosz
Kulesza, an analyst at Pekao in Warsaw.
Currencies were mostly little changed. The Czech crown
and Hungarian forint were flat against the
euro, while the Polish zloty fell 0.11% to 4.497.
A Warsaw-based currency trader said the market was quiet,
aside from activity connected to the last central bank fixing of
the year.
The National Bank of Hungary on Tuesday was holding an FX
swap tender to provide euro liquidity to banks.
Benchmark Polish 10-year bond yields were up
more than two basis points at 1.266%. Czech 10-year yields
fell more than 2 basis points to 1.2380.
