Revved-Up Polish Assets at Risk With Nationalist Ahead in Ballot
Investors in Polish stocks and bonds — among the world's stand-out performers of 2025 — are on edge as a nationalist is projected to win presidential elections, dealing a blow to the pro-European government. Markets have been concerned that a win by the resurgent right, which has been emboldened by Donald Trump, may unravel Poland's pro-European Union tilt and reverse the rally in the country's assets. The zloty was indicated 0.4% weaker against the euro during Asian trading hours.

Poland's Nawrocki on course for tight presidential election win
WARSAW: Conservative historian Karol Nawrocki appeared to edge ahead in Sunday's (Jun 1) presidential election in Poland, after a late exit poll overturned an early showing that gave a razor-thin victory to his rival, the liberal Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski. A late exit poll by Ipsos for broadcasters TVN, TVP and Polsat showed Nawrocki at 50.7 per cent, and Trzaskowski at 49.3 per cent. Earlier readings published just after voting ended had the eurosceptic nationalist at 49.7 per cent. The vote is seen as a test of the nation's support for a pro-European course versus Donald Trump-style nationalism. Official results were due on Monday, although a late poll that mixes some results with exit surveys was expected to be published overnight. The exit poll carries a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Nawrocki, 42, an amateur boxer who ran a national remembrance institute, campaigned on a promise to ensure the government's economic and social policies favour Poles over other nations, including refugees from neighbouring Ukraine. Trzaskowski, 53, had promised to help the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk complete its democratic reforms, which they both say aim to repair an erosion of checks and balances under the previous nationalist government that lost power in 2023.

Karol Nawrocki, supported by the former ruling nationalist Law and Justice Party, received 49.7% of ballots cast. The knife-edge result was well within the poll's margin of error of 2 percentage points.
