Analysis of the Turkish lira
The price of the USD/TRY only moved slightly during today's early trading, the dollar had risen near levels of 18 lira yesterday, before the pair returned to stability below this level. The dollar rose against the major currencies during yesterday's trading after the announcement of the FOMC meeting minutes, which showed the possibility that the Fed will start moving interest rates at a slower pace depending on the circumstances and economic data. Some Fed members also saw the possibility of keeping the interest rate at elevated levels for a period of time even as inflation began to be brought under control.
Despite the dollar's gains against most major currencies and emerging market currencies, the US currency did not move only slightly against the lira, as observers attributed the intervention of the Turkish Central Bank directly to impose a kind of stability for the lira price. It is noteworthy that the Turkish Central Bank is suffering from a decline in the volume of foreign exchange, but the bank has received support of several billions from Russia within the project to establish a nuclear plant in the country.

The chance of the lira rising against the dollar is still slim as the pair is heading in an overall bullish trend.
