Continued Weakness of the Turkish Lira Against the Dollar Amid Economic Slowdown

The USD/TRY exchange rate recorded a level of 39.5191 today — its highest level since March 19, 2025, when it reached around 41.00. The pair is currently trading near 39.5140 lira per dollar. The U.S. dollar has gained roughly 12% against the Turkish lira since the beginning of the year, and forecasts suggest that the lira’s weakness may continue in the coming period.

Recent Turkish economic data indicates a continued slowdown, with key indicators as follows:
• The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed to 35.41% in May, below expectations (36.10%) and the previous reading (37.86%).
• Industrial production fell on a monthly basis, recording a contraction of 5.20% in April, compared to 10.60% previously.
• The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) declined to 47.20 points in May, slightly lower than the previous reading of 47.30.
• The current account posted a deficit of $7.86 billion in April — larger than the previous deficit of -$4.09 billion.

Analysts are now awaiting the Turkish Central Bank’s interest rate decision, expected tomorrow, Thursday, June 19, 2025, with forecasts suggesting that rates will be kept steady at 46.00%.

Technical Analysis:
The upward trend in the USD/TRY pair remains dominant, with positive momentum continuing. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 76, signaling that the pair has entered overbought territory.

In addition, the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages are displaying a clear upward trend: the 20-day moving average is above the 50-day, which in turn is above the 200-day average.

Furthermore, the MACD indicator shows a bullish crossover between the blue line and the orange signal line, reinforcing expectations of continued bullish momentum for the pair.
