Turkish lira Analysis:
The USD/TRY pair rose at the beginning of the weekly trading, as the pair continued trading with the same upward pace daily and continuously over the past months. Despite the limited daily rises, these rises have pushed the Turkish lira to record continuous losses as the dollar records new highs almost daily. These rises come at a time when the monetary authorities in the country have reduced support for the local currency as the volume of dollar injections into the markets has declined over the past months.
Meanwhile, official data released by the central bank in the country revealed a decline in the volume of foreign currency deposit accounts by $3.03 billion during the week ending December 6, bringing the total to $162.71 billion. The total volume of foreign currency-protected deposit accounts also decreased to an estimated 1.185 trillion Turkish lira, equivalent to about $33.84 billion, during the same period. Despite the rise of the dollar during the current year, it has not been able to keep pace with the high inflation rates in Turkey or provide competitive returns compared to interest rates on Turkish lira deposits. Inflation is expected to reach around 45% by the end of the year, while returns on Turkish lira deposits have exceeded 40%.
