FXStreet (Edinburgh) – The Turkish lira remained unchanged following the CBRT monetary policy meeting, with USD/TRY trading above 2.6700.
USD/TRY indifferent on CBRT
The pair kept the composure after the Turkish central bank (CBRT) left its monetary stance unchanged at today’s meeting, with the Overnight Lending Rate at 10.75%, the Overnight Borrowing Rate at 7.25% and the One-Week Repo Rate at 7.50%. The CBRT’s decision was broadly in line with market expectations.
The recent appreciation of the lira seems to have found a barrier around the 2.6600 level vs. the greenback, correcting from historical lows beyond 2.80 in mid-June.
