Turkey 5Y CDS Takes a Leg Higher as Russia Risks Brew

TURKEY
  • Turkey is among those notably vulnerable in the EM space to a further escalation in the Ukraine crisis via higher energy prices, loss of tourism and disruptions to trade.
  • As a net importer, has/oil shortages and higher prices will weigh negatively on Turkey’s inflation profile adding to re-existing price risks with the CBRT refusing to hike policy
  • Should a severe bout of risk aversion translate into TRY weakness, the CBRT will be forced to resume burning reserves against its previous promises – making its position all the more precarious
  • Most analysts believe the CBRT & state banks will vehemently defend the 14.00 handle after making numerous promises of TRY stability in recent weeks.
  • The 5Y CDS is up +15bp this morning, but 97bp shy of its 2021 high at 623.
