Slovak crown down on region, eyes CPI, trade data

...33.610 per euro  as of 1500 GMT, 
compared with 33.580 late on Wednesday. 
    "The Polish zloty and Hungary's forint went up (eased) as 
Fitch put Turkey's rating outlook to stable from positive," said 
Tatra Banka dealer Boris Somorovsky. 
    The forint also suffered from the dollar's firming against 
the euro, which prompted investors to shun positions in the 
region, traders said. 
    The market is awaiting the release of a set of economic 
indicators on Friday, but dealers said a market-moving impetus 
was likely only in case of surprising figures. 
    The Statistics Office will publish local inflation for April 
and foreign trade balance for March at 0700 GMT on Friday.
