Key quotes

“Turkish central bank governor removal credit negative for the country’s banks' funding.”

“Without central bank credibility Turkish banks' market access likely costlier, limited to short-term syndications.”

USD/TRY fades a spike

Following wild moves on Wednesday, USD/TRY has entered a phase of consolidation so far this Thursday.

Despite the downbeat remarks from Moody’s ratings agency, the Turkish lira has managed to bounce-off daily lows at 7.9522 against the US dollar.

The cross now trades at 7.9204, modestly flat on the day.
