Short-lived rally signals ongoing challenges – Commerzbank

The Turkish Lira’s recent rally was short-lived, with USD/TRY trading higher than before the central bank’s rate decision. Analysts maintain a bearish outlook, citing ongoing inflation challenges and ineffective monetary policy. The Lira’s depreciation is expected to continue without significant intervention. Commerzbank FX Analyst Tatha Ghose reports.
