The rebound in Turkey’s core-inflation continues to be gradual, therefore
accelerated rate cuts would not underpin the Turkish lira. Unsecure politics
would contribute to the volatility in the currency. However, since the U.S. Fed
is still on a relatively moderate course, modest lira weakness in expected in
the next 12 months, said Commerzbank in a research note.
As markets
understand the wider risks, another lira crisis such as in 2014/15 to emerge is
unlikely, even if individual events continue to shock us, added Commerzbank. On
the positive side, decelerating GDP growth would also assist the current
account. Hence forces are balanced about the currency.
“We see
USD/TRY at 3.25 at end-2016 and at 3.40 at end- 2017”, noted
Commerzbank.
