The Hungarian Forint climbed against the U.S. dollar in the
European session on Tuesday, as the latter weakened across the
board on failure of the U.S. government's healthcare bill to get
passed in Senate.
GOP Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas
announced their opposition to the Bill on Monday, thereby lacking
enough votes needed for passage of the Bill in the 100-member Upper
House.
In economic news, Hungary's central bank kept its key interest
rate unchanged at a record low for a fourteenth successive month as
inflation remains well below the bank's 3 percent target.
The Monetary Council of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank left the base
rate unchanged at 0.90 percent, in line with economists'
expectations.
The Hungarian Forint climbed to 264.48 against the greenback, a
level not seen since January 2015. The Hungarian Forint is likely
to find resistance around the 250.00 zone.
