Commerzbank projects further rate cuts by the CBRT, signaling potential downside risk for the Turkish Lira as analysts question the authenticity of recent disinflation data.
Commerzbank analyst Tatha Ghose anticipates further interest rate cuts by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) following a recent inflation report. The bank argues that the current disinflation trend is not genuine and warns that regional economic factors remain inherently pro-inflationary, which is expected to exert downward pressure on the Turkish Lira.
The bank believes the CBRT will act following a recent benign inflation print, despite concerns that the disinflation is not sustainable.
The outlook remains bearish as Commerzbank suggests that regional pro-inflationary pressures will likely lead to further depreciation of the currency.
