USD to TRY Rates - 2026 Forecast

Analysis of recent dollar → lira forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Turkish lira performance and trends.

 

USD/TRY Outlook:

The USD/TRY is likely to increase, trading at 90-day highs and well above its recent average. A safe-haven demand amid rising geopolitical tensions underpins this outlook.

Key drivers:

Rate gap: The U.S. Federal Reserve's policies support a stronger dollar compared to Turkey's easing monetary policy.

Risk/commodities: Rising oil prices due to Middle East tensions are increasing global demand for USD.

Macro factor: Turkey's elevated corporate foreign currency liabilities pose risks that may weaken the TRY.

Range:

Expect the USD/TRY to hold near current levels within the 3.5% range, possibly testing higher extremes.

What could change it:

Upside risk: Continued geopolitical instability could further boost USD demand.

Downside risk: Rapid economic recovery in Turkey could reinforce the TRY against the USD.
