CEE MARKETS-FX, bonds stabilise as oil falls; Moody's review of Poland eyed

WARSAW, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Central European currencies and bond markets steadied as crude oil prices fell for a third straight session on Friday, while investors awaited Moody's review of Poland's sovereign credit rating later in the day.

• Economists said the zloty and Polish bonds should be stabilising on Friday thanks to a quieter situation on energy and core debt markets.

• "Moody’s decision regarding Poland’s credit rating, due after market close, is unlikely to impact the domestic bond market; we do not anticipate any rating changes from major agencies this year," Bank Millennium analysts said in a note.

• Poland's industrial output rose at a solid pace in August, supported by a rebound in export demand, data published on Friday showed, but fell short of analysts' expectations. Producer prices (PPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year.

• The zloty was down 0.1% at 4.3630 per euro at 0842 GMT, while the Hungarian forint weakened 0.2% to 363.65.

• Hungary's central bank is expected to keep its base rate at 5.5% HUINT=ECI next Tuesday after three straight cuts, amid increased global risks and a planned lowering of its inflation goal, a Reuters poll showed.

• The Czech central bank (CNB) left its main repo rate CZCBIR=ECI unchanged at 3.75% on Thursday, as expected, but said a hike would be considered at the next meeting in November.

• "The CNB press conference struck a dovish tone relative to market pricing, as expected, but signalled a 'no-change' stance compared to the August meeting. The CNB Board remains open to further rate hikes yet sees no need to rush at this moment," ING said.

• The Czech crown was stable around 24.3280 per euro.

• Stock markets in the region mostly fell in line with global bourses, but shares of Poland's largest fashion retailer LPP LPPP.WA rose nearly 7% after its second-quarter results came in above its preliminary numbers.
