Trump's endorsement of Hungarian PM Orban signals a strengthening of U.S.-Hungary relations, which could reassure markets focused on cooperation over geopolitical tensions. This endorsement may favor pro-growth policies and stability in Hungary, potentially impacting market sentiment towards the EUR and regional equities. Watch for how this affects broader trade relations, particularly in Europe and its implications for risk assets within the region.
