3-month trend🔴 Downtrend
Currently, TRY/USD is trading near its 90-day lows around 0.020965, supported by risk-off sentiment and safe-haven flows. Over the next few sessions, conditions may remain supported by risk aversion, but the pair could face downward pressure if global risk sentiment continues to deteriorate.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to the US Dollar may find conditions less favourable than recent levels.
- Travellers: exchanging USD cash could see higher costs if the pair extends its decline.
- Businesses: paying US Dollar invoices with Turkish Lira might encounter increased transfer costs.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: Turkish risk premiums and monetary policy stance keep TRY vulnerable and yield differences support a weaker TRY.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-sensitive assets are pressured as safe havens gain strength amid geopolitical tensions and energy market concerns.
- Global factors: Elevated global risk appetite and energy prices are reinforcing safe-haven demand for USD.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Resolution of geopolitical tensions or easing inflation concerns could support a recovery in TRY.
- Downside risk: Escalation of risk aversion or further US dollar strength driven by global events may push TRY lower.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to find lower margins, which can help offset less favourable exchange rates.
