USD/TRY Spikes After Turkish Central Bank Delivers Larger Than Expected Cut


Recommended Posts

USD/TRY, CBRT Price Analysis & News:

  • USD/TRY Hits as Fresh Record High.
  • Turkish Central Bank Delivers Larger Than Expected Cut.

Why Turkish central bank's decision is positive | Opinion

The Turkish Central Bank cut its weekly repo rate to 16%, marking a 200bps cut vs expectations for a 50-100bps reduction. In reaction to the larger than expected rate cut, the USD/TRY soared to a fresh record high of 9.4780. Keep in mind, that this rate cut comes amid an environment of rising inflationary pressures, a softer currency, while other EM central banks are tightening policy. However, due to Erdogan’s unorthodox views that lower interests rate equates to lower inflation, the Turkish Central Bank find itself in an easing cycle. Not a good recipe for an already weak Turkish Lira.

The Bank noted that due to supply-side transitory factors, this leaves limited room for the downward adjustment to the policy rate until year-end. A reminder that earlier in the year, the Governor stated that the policy rate will remain above the inflation rate. However, with President Erdogan the de factor Governor of the central bank I wouldn’t rule out such possibility that rates will not be lowered again.

In light of the larger than expected rate cut, it will be hard to argue that USD/TRY cannot reach the psychological 10.00 level in the coming months.

As a side note, volatility in the Turkish Lira is important for equity traders, namely those who have exposure to Spanish Banks and the IBEX 35, which we have highlighted previously.

    • Ondo finance is a project that is aimed to democratise access to institutional grade financial products and services using blockchain technology.  The project’s team seeks to leverage on the blockchain technology, to improve both the financial infrastructure and accessibility of financial products. The team cuts across former members of reputable firms like Goldman Sachs and partnerships with VCs like; Blackrock and Morgan Stanley. Practically, it seeks to integrate the real world assets with blockchain technology. The native token $ONDO has performed exceedingly well since its launch in January18th, 2024. The tokenized products offered by the project have a bearing to US treasuries and the US money market funds. After keenly reading about this project it is quite clear that it is a fine blend of tradfi and defi product services. With this immense usecase, $ONDO will do very well. Looking at these, T1 platforms like Bitget have listed it and the price action is quite fair thus.        
    • You all will agree with me that many of us tends to focus on big names like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. I've followed this trend too. But lately, I've realized there's a whole world of opportunities beyond these mainstream coins. Taking a closer look at the market: BTC and ETH haven't doubled since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, some lesser-known crypto projects have shot up by 400% and more. I am not talking about memecoins  Just today while reading an article about ONDO and ZEEBU published by Bitget, I was amazed to see the incredible growth these two tokens have undergone in the past few months. While ONDO deals with tokenized real-world assets, ZEEBU is a loyalty token for smoother global transactions, rewarding users along the way. Both have seen incredible growth recently. Sure, holding BTC has its perks, but tokens like ONDO and ZEEBU are gaining traction fast. They've already hit billion-dollar market caps from humble beginnings. It seems like these underdog projects might be the ones to watch during this bullish phase. But the challenge remains: how do we identify gems in this evolving landscape?
