25 Apr 2026 • 01:03 GMT
📊 Forecast snapshot
- Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
- Expected range: 0.0220 – 0.0220
- Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
- 3-month trend: 🔴 Downtrend
Currently, TRY/USD is trading close to 90-day lows near 0.022215, more than 2% below its 3-month average. The pair remains supported by risk-off sentiment dominating market flows. Over the next few sessions, the pair may face pressure if risk conditions persist, holding near recent lows.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to USD may find the TRY less favourable than recent levels due to ongoing risk-off flows.
- Travellers: exchanging for USD could see a weaker TRY exchange rate, making USD more expensive.
- Businesses: paying USD invoices with TRY might encounter higher conversion costs if the current trend continues.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: Turkey’s hawkish monetary policy and macroprudential measures sustain TRY’s underperformance against the USD.
- Risk/commodities: Elevated geopolitical tensions and energy concerns keep safe-haven flows into USD solid.
- Global factors: Risk sentiment remains negative, supported by demand for USD as the primary safe haven, and FOMC’s hawkish stance.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift towards risk-on sentiment or a retreat in global geopolitical tensions could support TRY.
- Downside risk: A sudden escalation in risk aversion or a sharp USD rally driven by global macro developments.
