USD/TRY: Depreciation pressure on the Lira to return – Commerzbank
|A crucial moment for Turkish markets: CBT holds its monthly rate meeting today. Economists at Commerzbank analyze the Turkish Lira outlook – which has been relatively stable in recent days.
TRY could be stable by itself for some time as the upcoming policy environment is not known yet
It is widely anticipated that new governor Hafize Erkan will hike the base rate back to somewhere around 20%, from the current 8.50%. The accompanying commentary and other posssible changes to capital controls and FX restrictions will also have a crucial impact on sentiment and outlook.
For some time, the Lira could be stable by itself because the upcoming policy environment is not known yet, which deters aggressive market positioning. But once the new policy parameters have become clear, we envisage depreciation pressure on the TRY to return.
