Currently, USD/TRY is trading near 90-day highs at 46.98, supported by the rate differential driven by Turkey's hawkish policy. Over the next few sessions, the pair may remain supported by the divergence in monetary policies and risk-off sentiment, keeping the USD under strength pressure.

- Businesses: paying overseas Turkish Lira invoices with USD might face higher costs as the pair maintains its recent highs.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: Turkey’s interest rate hikes to 45% support TRY, contrasting with U.S. monetary policy data.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment is prevalent, supporting USD and pressuring risk-sensitive currencies.
- Global factors: The divergence in Fed and Turkish monetary policies remains the key influence on pair movement.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift in risk sentiment towards risk appetite could weaken USD/TRY.
- Downside risk: Signs of a slowdown in Turkish rate hikes or better risk environment may reduce USD support.
