Currently, USD/HUF is trading close to recent highs, holding near the 90-day average at 333.9. The pair is supported by risk-off sentiment driven by geopolitical tensions.

- Risk/commodities: Elevated geopolitical tensions foster safe-haven flows into USD and pressure risk-sensitive FX.
- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are intensifying safe-haven demand.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Deterioration in geopolitical stability could strengthen USD further towards recent highs.
- Downside risk: easing tensions or improved risk appetite might weaken USD relative to HUF, bringing the pair closer to recent lows.
Finding providers with lower margins can help reduce total transfer costs, especially as exchange conditions become less favourable.
