Dominant driver⚖️ Interest-rate differentials
3-month trend🔴 Downtrend
EUR/TRY is trading close to recent highs around 55.14, supported by the rate differential with Turkish policy hikes to 45%. However, the pair remains within its recent 4.4% range, and current conditions suggest a bias towards weakening of the Euro against the Turkish Lira over the near term. This may keep the pair supported near recent levels but also vulnerable if risk-off sentiment increases.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to Turkish Lira: may find conditions less favourable than recent levels if the pair declines.
- Travellers: buying Turkish Lira cash: could face pressure if the pair weakens further.
- Businesses: paying Turkish Lira invoices: may see less benefit from recent exchange rates if the pair moves lower.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: Turkish interest rate hikes to 45% support TRY, while the Eurozone's mixed economic data keeps EUR under pressure.
- Risk/commodities: risk-off sentiment is supported by a broader risk aversion environment and safe-haven flows.
- Global factors: global risk-off conditions, with investors favouring safe assets, pressure risk-sensitive currencies.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: a shift towards risk-on conditions or a decline in Turkish rate expectations could strengthen the Euro.
- Downside risk: a further rise in Turkish yields or escalation in risk aversion could pressure EUR/TRY lower.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to find lower margins, which can help reduce overall transfer costs amid less favourable exchange conditions.
