Moody's downgraded Poland's credit rating, but the Polish zloty remained stable, with the euro trading above 4.35 PLN, Bankier.pl reports. This stability suggests that the market had anticipated the downgrade, and investor confidence in the zloty remains intact. The downgrade reflects concerns over economic policies but has not yet impacted currency markets significantly.

Impact Currency traders see no immediate impact on the zloty from Moody's downgrade.
