Trading on the FX market has been rather calm. None of the major currencies experienced large moves. Japanese yen is the weakest among G10 currencies while SEK gains the most. HUF seesawed after Hungarian central bank delivered a 30 basis points rate hike, to 0.9%. Moreover, Hungarian central bank said that the rate-hike cycle has begun and interest rates may increase on a monthly basis from now on.
