Turkish Rates Slide, CDS Spikes Higher as CBRT Comes Into Focus

TURKEY
  • Local & USD rates trade little changed around the open, having sold-off across both curves in yesterday’s session as the expectations for another dovish CBRT come into focus.
  • TurkGBs were most offered on the day, rising +19-38bp across the curve with the 3Y most affected. Similarly, USD bonds slipped into the red, closing +9.8-18.1bp higher with 3-7Y yields underperforming the most.
  • Turkey’s 5Y CDS also rose +17.62bp on the day to move comfortably back above 500.
  • Rates should continue to remain on the backfoot ahead of the FOMC & CBRT this week with a toxic combination of deeper negative real yields, weak sentiment and a tightening external environment putting upside pressure on yields.
