⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
This is a defensive hold, not a bullish signal. Monitor HUF weakness and potential capital flight from Central Europe. The rate hold reflects constraint, not confidence—watch for any hawkish guidance reversal if turmoil escalates. Short-term volatility likely; avoid assuming stability.
