WARSAW, April 7 (Reuters) - The Polish zloty led losses in central Europe on Tuesday, as currencies pulled back from recent gains after a rally in stocks lost steam.
In Hungary, the forint extended falls after data showed a sharp drop in industrial output in February [
], while investors were also eyeing a Czech interim government agreement that still looked shaky.The leader of the main Czech opposition Social Democrats, Jiri Paroubek, said on Tuesday he saw no reason for the collapse of a deal on an interim government that would lead the country to early elections in the autumn, despite two smaller parties backing away from the plan late on Monday.[
]At 1109 GMT Hungary's forint <EURHUF=> was off 1.4 percent at 297.7 against the euro, while the Polish zloty <EURPLN=> dropped 1.5 percent down against the euro to 4.486.
The Czech crown <EURCZK=> dipped from Monday's domestic close to 26.59 per euro, and Romania's leu <EURRON=> slipped 0.2 percent but was still near three-month highs hit in the past week since the country secured an external aid package.
"I expect this is a regular correction as currencies in the region are following the weaker euro to the dollar," said one Warsaw-based dealer.
Stock indices in the region lost 1-2 percent, while Polish bonds tracked the currency down as investors waited for a longer-maturity bond tender on Wednesday. [
]Pressure on Czech bonds would remain due to growing supply and worries that political horsetrading will undermine efforts to cap spending, dealers said.
"The longer the (political) process, the more the budget deficit outlook deteriorates," Komercni Banka dealers said in a note. "Political consensus for more fiscal impulses now seem to have very weak opposition, if any."
TEMPORARY RELIEF
Currencies have strengthened from multi-year lows in the past month as investors' appetite for riskier emerging assets grew on hopes the world economy is stabilising. But banking stocks have come under renewed pressure after a sector downgrade from a prominent analyst on Monday.
Dealers and analysts said the more positive tone was still likely to dominate going forward, even though some currencies were unable to defend gains made after the G20 summit last week pledged more funds for emerging economies.
Analysts also expect fundamental pressures to remain.
"We assume that the improved sentiment created by the summit is not just a temporary phenomenon even though it is obvious that not all difficulties have been overcome yet," Commerzbank analysts wrote in a morning note.
