PRAGUE, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Central Europe's currencies

firmed on Wednesday to come off recent lows, but stayed under

pressure from a stronger dollar in the wake of Donald Trump's

victory in the U.S. election.

The Hungarian forint gained 0.4% to 409.20 to the

euro and stayed just off its 23-month low of 412.50 hit last

week.

"Uncertainty about America and Trump's presidency shows in

the rate of all emerging currencies," a Budapest-based trader

said.

"Markets are awaiting U.S. inflation data, but even that is

not very important now when the real question is what economic

and other policies Donald Trump will introduce next year."

Until then, the trader expects the forint to move between

400 and 413 per euro.

Emerging market currencies have been under pressure since

Trump's win as the dollar strengthened on expectations his

tariff and immigration policies could push up inflation,

limiting scope for U.S. interest rate cuts.

Tariffs could also be a blow to central Europe's more

export-dependent economies.

Elsewhere in markets, Poland's zloty was steady at

4.347 per euro and the Czech crown edged up 0.3% to

25.33 to the euro.

Polish central banker Cezary Kochalski told ISBnews in

comments published on Wednesday that there may be room to cut

interest rates in March 2025.

Poland, unlike Hungary or the Czech Republic, has seen

interest rates unchanged for the past year after two cuts in

2023.
