What Is EUR/PLN Trading?
In forex, EUR/PLN trading refers to the buying and selling of the euro against the Polish zloty. It
is a currency pair that represents the exchange rate between the euro, the official currency of the
Eurozone, and the Polish zloty, the official currency of Poland.
In the forex market, currency pairs are traded based on their exchange rates. For EUR/PLN, the value
represents how much one euro is worth in Polish zloty. For example, if the exchange rate is 4.50, it
means one euro can be exchanged for 4.50 Polish zloty.
This pair is one of the less commonly traded ones, but it holds significance for investors and
traders who are interested in the European and Polish economies.
EUR/PLN Historical Performance
The euro was introduced as an accounting currency on January 1, 1999, and became the official
currency of the Eurozone countries. On January 1, 2002, physical euro notes and coins were
officially launched and introduced into circulation. Poland's transition to a market economy
after the fall of communism in the early 1990s led to the adoption of the Polish zloty as its
official currency. Poland's previous currency, also called zloty, was replaced during this
period.
Over the years, the EUR/PLN FX rate has experienced fluctuations due to various economic and
political factors in both the Eurozone and Poland.
From 2000 to 2010, the pair formed solid up and downtrends, reflecting the precarious position
of the European currency. From 2011 until 2020, the euro gained strength, so the pair traded in
a narrow range of 4-4.5. It was broken at the end of 2020 when the rate moved to 5. However, it
was a minor touch of 5, and the pair moved down.
Major Factors That Affect the EUR/PLN Pair
The euro's stability and its association with a large economic bloc make it an attractive choice
for traders seeking diversification and exposure to the European markets.
The zloty plays a pivotal role in the country's economic landscape. The Polish economy has
experienced substantial growth over the years, attracting investors seeking opportunities in
Central and Eastern Europe.
When trading this pair, market participants pay attention to economic indicators, including the
GDP growth in Poland and the EU, employment data, and manufacturing output from both the
Eurozone and Poland can impact the exchange rate.
Political events, elections, and policy changes in either the Eurozone or Poland can lead to
market uncertainty and affect the currency rates. Global events are also vital for the strength
of both currencies. Geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and shifts in investor sentiment can
cause fluctuations in the rate.
Liquidity is highly important for trading, and it definitely affects less popular pairs,
including EUR/PLN.
