The Hungarian forint has fallen to historic lows against several major currencies, including the US dollar, Swiss franc, British pound, and Polish zloty. Currently, the forint trades at 395.5 per USD, 444.13 per CHF, 495.5 per GBP, and 94.7 per PLN, indicating ongoing currency devaluation. This decline is attributed to a strong dollar, weak Eurozone PMI, and global market pressures on emerging currencies. Despite previous interventions by Hungary’s National Bank, the forint remains volatile. Meanwhile, the Budapest Stock Exchange’s BUX index experienced modest gains, supported by increased shares of companies like OTP Bank and MOL.

No need to blame USD, even the Ukrainian money is much stronger than HUF.
