Frantisek Taborsky
Frantisek Taborsky focuses on foreign exchange and fixed income strategy for EMEA markets, analysing high-frequency data releases, central bank decisions and shifts in risk appetite to frame market moves. He is an FX and fixed income strategist at ING, contributing regular FX Daily commentary and participating in webinars and podcasts for ING THINK, having joined the bank in 2022. His work is distinguished by close attention to Central and Eastern European currencies and rates, with specific levels, rate expectations and short-term recommendations tied directly to monetary policy, inflation pressures and global risk sentiment.
FX Daily: data, policy and short-term currency moves
FX Daily is the core vehicle for Taborsky’s day-to-day market coverage, where he tracks how upcoming data and policy events translate into currency moves and trading levels. In FX Daily pieces such as “FX Daily: US holiday offers Japan intervention window,” he writes about the timing and conditions for potential Japanese intervention in foreign exchange markets around a US holiday, using the calendar and liquidity backdrop as key lenses. In “FX Daily: Eyes back on data after Fed and ECB communication troubles,” he shifts focus from central bank messaging back to economic releases, examining how guidance from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank feeds into subsequent data-dependent trading. “FX Daily: Back on the rollercoaster” and “FX Daily: Still Searching For A Bottom in US Sentiment” show him mapping swings in volatility and investor confidence onto currency performance, highlighting when markets move from calm to risk-off and whether negative sentiment has reached a turning point.
His FX Daily work often anchors macro themes in very concrete price action. In “FX Daily: Data Can Trigger New Leg Up in USD,” he connects upcoming US indicators such as ADP payrolls and ISM surveys to the potential for renewed US dollar strength, spelling out the data points that could drive a fresh leg higher. In “FX Daily: A busy week ahead,” he lays out the coming week’s key events and flags where currency pairs like EUR/PLN could test levels such as 4.290, with resistance around 4.300, giving readers both the macro triggers and the technical markers to watch. Across these notes he combines narrative about central bank communication, growth and inflation with directional views on major and regional currency pairs, setting out the near-term scenarios that matter for traders and investors.
Central and Eastern Europe currencies and rates
Taborsky’s strategy work has a strong Central and Eastern Europe focus, where he links domestic policy and fiscal dynamics to currency and rate markets. In analysis circulated through brokers such as “CEE FX: Risk-on bounce but policy still key – ING,” he explains how headlines on a possible end to the US–Iran conflict triggered a risk-on move that helped Central and Eastern European currencies, while stressing that local monetary policy remains a decisive driver. Related coverage of CEE currencies notes that they have risen on risk appetite even as energy-driven inflation and fading rate hike expectations complicate the outlook, underscoring his habit of weighing external sentiment against domestic fundamentals.
He extends this approach to individual economies. Commentary on Czech fiscal policy describes how policy has loosened only marginally after an election and links a persistent public finance deficit to the broader macro and market backdrop. In work on the National Bank of Romania, he expects the policy rate to stay at 6.50% while inflation remains high, but points to a projected easing in price pressures around mid-year as a key consideration for the rate path. Taken together, these pieces show him treating CEE currencies, local rates and fiscal stance as a connected system, with inflation dynamics and central bank reaction functions at the centre of his analysis.
Fed easing, FX outlook and cross-market strategy
Beyond daily notes, Taborsky contributes to broader FX and rates outlooks and client-facing events that situate EMEA markets within global themes. In a webinar on “Why the Fed easing cycle will trigger the next leg lower in the dollar,” he sets out how a US rate-cutting cycle can drive a weaker dollar, linking the policy trajectory to investors’ appetite for carry trades and the relative appeal of other currencies. He features in ING’s 2026 FX Outlook alongside colleagues, discussing issues such as low FX volatility, the role of carry, and the normalisation of rates in regions including the eurozone and Japan, placing EMEA currency strategy within a multi-year global rate and inflation framework.
He also participates in sessions that stress-test interest rate and market calls, examining how investors are pricing the ECB’s path and where that pricing could prove wrong, which informs how EMEA fixed income and FX markets might reprice. Through the ING THINK aloud podcast and related audio replays of live webinars, he contributes to discussions on how political developments such as Donald Trump’s policies could reshape global currency markets in the coming years, indicating his role in connecting geopolitical drivers to FX strategy. This combination of webinars, podcasts and written outlooks highlights him as a strategist who moves between intraday commentary and medium-term scenarios, always tying rate expectations and policy shifts back to practical implications for currencies and bond markets.
Client recommendations and multi-platform reach
Taborsky’s author profile and external contributor pages describe him as an FX and fixed income strategist covering EMEA markets who provides short- and medium-term recommendations for clients, translating his analysis into actionable trade ideas. His views are distributed not only through ING THINK but also via platforms such as Investing.com, where articles like “EUR/USD Optimism Starts to Wane on Trade War Fears” extend his major-pair analysis to a wider audience of market participants. Third-party market news providers regularly cite his comments on CEE currencies, inflation and central bank policy, reflecting a body of work that is both technically detailed and widely picked up across the trading community. This multi-platform presence reinforces the defining feature of his coverage: systematic, event-driven analysis of FX and rates in EMEA, especially Central and Eastern Europe, with clear trade implications.
