The TRY/USD declined during yesterday's trading, Wednesday, as it broke its lowest level ever, to continue the general trend in the red color recorded by the Turkish currency. The lira was affected by expectations of tightening monetary policy in the United States of America, which gave a boost to the US dollar at the expense of emerging market currencies. In his congressional appearance, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell shouted a strong signal of an acceleration in interest rate hikes.
In the hours after his remarks, the probability of a rate hike in March rose by 50 basis points to 70%. On the other hand, the Turkish Central Bank controls the price of the lira by pumping the dollar into the markets as well as by following some measures that relieve pressure on the Turkish lira. In general, the Turkish Central Bank reduces the price of the lira gradually and slowly, as a result of the stimulus policy pursued by the Central Bank, which is actually under the control of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which raises the interest rate. The Central Bank of Turkey received support amounting to 5 billion dollars from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in light of the economic cooperation between the two countries within the commitment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support Turkey's efforts to strengthen its economy.
