USD/TRY Stalls Below Prior Highs, C/A Data In Focus

TURKEY
  • USD/TRY trades -0.19% lower this morning, tracking early weakness in the BBDXY.
  • The cross closed Friday's session -0.14% lower, having failed to establish a new high above 9,7691 resistance.
  • Progress on a domestic missile system (Siper) is an interesting development that could see Turkey in a position to drop the S-400s and alleviate some geopolitical pressure, but no indications were made that Turkey will do so as of yet.
  • Focus for the week will be on current account, expected inflation and industrial production data – due throughout the week.
  • In September the CA surplus is expected to rise to $0.8-1.4bn.
  • However, most sell-side analysts see this as being temporary and likely to widen in 2022 as energy prices rise and policy is eased.
  • The cross seems to have lost some upside momentum on Friday and may drift within the 9.5419-9.7691 range until the upper bound of the range is broken.
  • The bias for fading TRY strength still remains prevalent going into the next CBRT meeting, however.
  • Intraday Sup1: 9.6249, Sup2: 9.5419, Res1: 9.7691, Res2: 9.85
  • USD/TRY 1m RR
