Turkish lira Analysis:
USD/TRY pair fell in early trading on Wednesday, despite the negative inflation data released earlier in the day. The Turkish government and central bank appear to be working to prevent the pair from breaking the 32.50 lira/$ level, below which it has settled for the second week in a row.
Meanwhile, the investors followed the statements of Turkish Finance and Treasury Minister Mehmet Şimşek, who commented on the inflation data released on Wednesday, which showed a lower-than-expected decline in March, to 68.5%, compared to 67.07% in February, while expectations were for inflation to rise to 69.1%. The Turkish minister said that inflation had fallen as expected, and attributed this to the tightening of monetary policy, which had been the biggest contributor to balancing supply and demand. Also, Şimşek expected stability to be further enhanced with increased external financing opportunities. Eventually, the Turkish minister added that tightening fiscal policy while controlling spending would help curb inflation.
Furthermore, Wells Fargo Investment Group issued a research note predicting that the dollar/lira pair has reached its peak, with US bank experts expecting a shift in favor of the Turkish lira supported by the central bank's tightening monetary policy. According to the bank's forecast, the dollar is expected to fall below 30 lira level by the middle of next year.
