USD/TRY LIKELY TO RISE SHARPLY OVER COMING QUARTERS, SAYS COMMERZBANK 14 January 2020

USD/TRY LIKELY TO RISE SHARPLY OVER COMING QUARTERS, SAYS COMMERZBANK

14 January 2020, 13:05

The USD/TRY currency pair is expected to rise sharply over the coming quarters amid Turkey’s long-term imbalances still proactively alive, according to the latest research report from Commerzbank.
Once the US-Iran conflict appeared to de-escalate and the oil price gave up its gains, the lira staged a nice rebound from its early January lows. Turkeys balance of payment fundamentals, however, deteriorated in the latest data release, as did inflation fundamentals earlier in the month.
On a seasonally-adjusted basis, Turkeys exports were down 0.6 percent m/m in November, while imports rose by 2.6 percent m/m; the trade deficit widened noticeably and the current-account recorded $1.1 billion deficit vs. $0.3 billion deficit in October on a seasonally-adjusted basis, the report added.
In November, portfolio flow turned positive, which supported the balance of payments and the lira. But of course, this source of financing is volatile and unreliable.
"In short, the CPI and balance of payment data give us a sneak preview of how key variables could shape up as the economy recovers from the 2018 lira crisis: during the 2019 economic recession, the current-account and inflation had managed to improve; this was misconstrued to be long-term re-balancing by policymakers," Commerzbank further commented.

Tensions escalated following the assassination of the Iranian General Soleimani on Jan 3rd by the US, but have since then deescalated. However, the team thinks Iran will continue its affront through a low intensity strategy and expect this to involve indirect attacks in the region, although it is clear markets will need to see sizable sustained production disruptions in order to bake in longer- lasting geopolitical risk premiums. The oil price reaction will ultimately depend upon the nature of any supply disruption vs available spare capacity, global oil inventories and the sensitivity of US oil production to changes in oil prices. In the latest report on th...
