0927 GMT - Central and eastern European currencies could continue to rise on optimism over a Ukraine-Russia peace deal, ING's Frantisek Taborsky says in a note. President Trump said he held a constructive phone call Wednesday with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about a ceasefire in Ukraine. Similar headlines could be forthcoming, supporting central and eastern European currencies, Taborsky says. These currencies are also supported by a higher euro versus the dollar and improving rate differentials, he says. "We expect the current rally to continue until at least the end of the week." EUR/PLN hit a seven-year low of 4.1567 earlier, according to FactSet. EUR/HUF reached a 16-week low of 400.960 earlier. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
