Thus, we expect the koruna to move lower to 23.60 EUR/CZK and for the forint to 380 EUR/HUF. The market still expects the Bank of England to push ahead with a 25bp hike on 23 March. Presumably, it will have to push ahead with a 50bp hike for fear of adding even more volatility to the markets. Tomorrow, we will see in Romania, industrial production and on Wednesday we will see labour market data. We very much struggle to buy into sterling as a safe-haven currency, given the UK's large current account deficit and large financial sector exposure. We have been arguing for some that time that bullish disinversion would be required to send the dollar lower - but had felt that it would be US disinflation or weak activity data - not a financial crisis - which would be the trigger. Risks lie to the 103.50 area and potentially 102.50 this week. In a way, we are going back to former periods of risk aversion - when selling the dollar and buying US two-year Treasury notes was the key strategy in a crisis.

US policymakers have acted quickly to restore confidence in the US banking system after Friday's second-largest bank failure in history. For today, investors will watch US banking stocks carefully to gauge whether the above measures have been enough to restore confidence.
