" Despite mounting likes of a 25bp rate hike by Fed in July meeting to 95%, there was a positive mood in the US markets yesterday following sell-offs in the last few days. Reflecting that, MSCI Asia is up by 1.4% this morning, meanwhile US and EU futures are slightly up. We expect a positive opening for BIST thanks to Turkey's backing of Sweden's accession to NATO as well as Sweden's pledge to support Turkey's EU accession process as well as modernisation of the EU-Turkey Customs Union and visa liberalisation.
" Both Stoltenberg and Biden stated their contentedness that President Erdogan agreed to forward Sweden's accession protocol to NATO to the Turkish National Assembly and to work closely with the Assembly to ensure its ratification.
" The CBRT announced that the transition to TRY deposits with a maturity longer than 3-months will be calculated as 1.5 times in the calculation of TRY deposits/Total deposits at the securities allocation requirement. Apparently the CBRT is trying to push the banks to raise more core TRY deposits instead of FX protected TRY accounts. So, going forward we envisage higher interest rate offerings on TRY deposits, which could help increase the value of TRY and ultimately help the CBRT to pull down inflation. We see the biggest issue to the strengthening of the TRY as the lack of a TRY instrument that pays real interest.
" The US State Department stated that they openly support the sale of the F-16 to Turkey and support Turkey's European Union goals.
" Three Fed officials including San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, known as one of the big supporters of Fed's pigeon monetary policies, emphasized the necessity of a few interest rate hikes in this year in order to combat inflation.
AGENDA
" Current account balance will be announced in Turkey. US$7bn deficit is expected by economists from US$5bn in May.
" June inflation data will be released in the US at 15:30 TR time tomorrow. The expected 0.3% monthly inflation will bring the annual figure to 3.1% from 4%. Clearly the 5.25% FED policy rate that surpasses the CPI helps the battle against inflation. This is a good example of how inflation can be pulled down when a central bank applies the right treatment.
" The NATO Leaders' Summit will take place from 11 to 12 July.
" US President Biden is scheduled to travel to the UK, Lithuania and Finland on 9 - 13 July.
" President Erdogan will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE on 17-19 July.
