WARSAW, Sept 13 (Reuters) -Central European currencies hovered near recent levels on Friday, as markets pared back bets on further easing from the European Central Bank and weighed inflation data from Poland.

The ECB cut interest rates again on Thursday and signalled a "declining path" for borrowing costs in the months ahead.

However, sources told Reuters that a further rate cut at its next meeting in October was unlikely barring a major deterioration in the outlook for growth.

Czech bank CSOB said indications showed the ECB "would like to stick to a relatively cautious quarterly tempo of rate cuts, which would of course be important news not only for the euro/dollar but also regional currencies and central banks".

The Czech crown EURCZK= was 0.07% weaker against the euro at 0929 GMT.

On Friday, Poland's statistics office said that inflation was 4.3% year-on-year in August, in line with a flash estimate.

"The zloty is stable... we have this CPI data which is a non-event for the market," said a Warsaw-based currency trader.

"On Friday I think position squaring will dominate and we are just preparing for the weekend."

The zloty EURPLN= was 0.08% weaker at 4.289.

"We expect that at the turn of the week the EUR/PLN pair will reach 4.30 again, and next week it will break above this level," ING analysts said in a note.

PKO analysts said they expect the zloty to be supported going forward by an improved interest rate differential between Poland and core markets.

The National Bank of Poland has ruled out rate cuts this year and Governor Adam Glapinski has said he hopes the Monetary Policy Council can start discussing interest rate cuts after next March.

The Hungarian forint EURHUF= was 0.11% softer at 395.85.

"The euro-forint rate has reached a very important technical support level, which lies between 394-395," said Zoltan Varga, an analyst at brokerage Equilor.

"So far, it has not been able to break it down, so it cannot be ruled out that it will soon head back towards the 397.50 level, which is the first major short-term technical resistance."
