Slovak crown pares losses, seen lacking trend

...swings will remain 
the currency's main driver in the coming days. 
    The crown rebounded as far as 33.720 per euro , 
from 33.810 in early trade. At 1435 GMT, it stood at 33.750, 
compared with 33.755 late on Tuesday. 
    "There are still investors buying euros despite the improved 
sentiment," said UniCredit Bank dealer Marian Sulko. "We will 
move alongside the region with the crown floating between 33.600 
and 33.900 in the coming week." 
    Investors ignored Wednesday's government approval of 
Gabriela Sedlakova as a new central bank (NBS) board member, 
expecting no major shift in monetary policy. 
    A Reuters poll showed on Wednesday analysts forecast the NBS 
would keep the key two-week repo rate at 4.25 percent next week, 
after two 25 basis-point cuts in April and March. Sedlakova's 
term starts on June 1.
