“After its attack from the end of last week to its strong values ​​of up to 23.33 CZK/EUR, the Czech koruna is gradually stabilizing and is moving to its weaker values ​​today,” said Purple Trading analyst Jaroslav Tupý. He added that the koruna remains attractive to investors thanks to its interest differential.

According to the analyst, the rate of the Czech currency this week could be affected by the unemployment data, which will be published by the Labor Office on Wednesday. On Friday, statisticians will announce how inflation developed in the Czech Republic in February.
