News that Hungary is\nclearing a path to signing an IMF-led financing deal is being\noffset by pessimism on the upcoming EU summit, analysts said.\n    \"The focus of the moment is on the EU summit,\" said Manik\nNarain, emerging FX strategist at UBS. \n    \"The relief rally we saw in the forint is running out of\nsteam. A lot of good news is already priced in. Markets have\npositioned for the completion of the IMF deal in six months and\nfor the central bank cutting rates but that may be difficult.\"\n    Other regional currencies also fell, with the Polish zloty\n down 0.7 percent. \n    Earlier in the day, China's main stock index closed\ndown 1 percent, extending a losing streak for a seventh day amid\nworries over a slowdown in the domestic economy and the euro\nzone crisis. \n   \n\n (Reporting by Ingrid Melander; Editing by John Stonestreet)<\/pre>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">\n<p>         \t\t\u00a9 Thomson Reuters 2012 All rights reserved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) &#8211; Emerging market shares fell on Thursday, tracking developed markets on expectations that a European Union summit will fail to address the bloc&#8217;s protracted debt crisis, while military tensions weighed on Turkish assets.
