TURKISH LIRA
TURKISH LIRA: Incline in USD/TRY continues, with USD/TRY topping out today at
7.0969, the highest level since 2018's TRY crisis in which the USD/TRY touched
7.2362.
- Moves today follow general risk off and as the Turkish central bank raise the
TRY swap market transaction limits to 40% from 30% of FX market limits. This
follows a similar move (to 30% from 20% two weeks ago), a move which was seen
amounting to around $5bln in FX transactions. This move allows the Turkish
central bank to build up their much-depleted FX reserves, which have fallen in
recent months as the bank attempt to defend (and smooth) any TRY depreciation.
