USD/TRY lower on CBRT rate hike
USD/TRY reverses a positive streak in place since August 9 in response to the larger-than-expected interest rate hike by the Turkish central bank (CBRT) on Thursday.
Indeed, the CBRT caught everybody off-guard after it raised the One-Week Repo Rate by 750 bps to 25.00% vs. the 20.00% expected by the broad consensus at its event on Thursday.
The bank’s statement said the decision comes to reinforce the monetary tightening process, underpin the disinflationary pressures, and anchor inflation expectations. In addition, the CBRT still believes that disinflation will be achieved at some point next year
