Market news: Tesla (TSLA.O) reached a settlement in the 2019 California crash lawsuit before the jury trial.On September 17, local time on the 16th, it was learned that Ukrainian President Zelensky said he was willing to meet with US President Trump and Russian President Putin without preconditions, but he would not go to Moscow, the capital of the country that is attacking Ukraine. Zelensky also said that Russia is preparing two autumn offensives.On September 17, US President Trump said he spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a move aimed at easing tensions between the two economies amid friction over tariffs and New Delhis purchase of Russian oil. Trump posted on social media that he had a "very good" call with Modi and extended birthday wishes. He added, "Hes doing a great job. Thank you for supporting the efforts to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine!" The call came as the two countries resumed trade negotiations this week, with both sides describing the talks as positive and aimed at resetting bilateral relations after Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods last month. Earlier that day, Modi tweeted that India supports Trumps "initiative for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine."On September 17, Scott Rubner, head of equity and equity derivatives strategy at Citadel Securities, said that the current rally that has pushed U.S. stocks to new highs may experience some volatility in the coming weeks, but is expected to end strongly before the end of the year. Rubner wrote that the S&P 500 has risen 17% from its low for the year, and short-term risks include overvaluation, seasonal fluctuations common in September and October, and possible selling by trend-following funds. However, these potential signs of weakness are unlikely to last, as the tailwinds supporting the stock markets rise - including corporate spending on artificial intelligence and demand from retail investors - will continue to power the market in the final months of 2025. "Stay positive on structural demand, but hedge against short-term risks, as September to October remains a fragile window," Rubner wrote, adding that investors should view short-term pullbacks as buying opportunities.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that Russias war economy relies on revenue from fossil fuels. To prevent this, the Commission will propose an accelerated phase-out of Russian fossil fuel imports.

USD/TRY reestablishes its annual high on route to 17.00, notwithstanding Erdogan's expectation of future inflation moderation

In spite of Turkish currency (TRY) traders' inflation worries and President Erdogan's efforts to appease TRY purchasers, the USD/TRY continues to trade near $16.36, the highest level since 2022. The pair's upward momentum is influenced by Friday's high Turkish inflation data for May, as well as the US dollar's comeback over the last week, not to mention expectations of the Fed's faster/more aggressive rate rises.

 

According to Reuters, "Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan stated on Sunday that inflation numbers from the month of May, when annual consumer prices soared to a 24-year high, indicate that inflation is now on the down." It is noteworthy that the May inflation rate for Turkey increased to 73.5 percent in the most recent report.

 

Reuters also reported that the lira fell by 44 percent last year and has been the poorest performer in emerging markets for several consecutive years, mostly owing to economic and monetary policy worries under the administration of President Tayyip Erdogan.

 

In contrast, the odds supporting a 0.50 percent rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September have lately increased to 75 percent from 35 percent a week earlier, which emphasizes this week's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and favors US dollar purchasers. In spite of this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) reversed a two-week downward trend at Friday's close, trading down 0.14 percent intraday near 102.000 as of press time.

 

US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) for May came in at 390K, above expectations of 325K but falling short of the upwardly revised prior readings of 428K. In addition, the unemployment rate stayed constant at 3.6% against predictions of a minor reduction to 3.5%. In addition, the US ISM Services PMI dropped to 55.9 in May, compared to the market estimate of 56.4 and the flash reading of 57.1 in April. Following the release of the statistics, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stated that the Fed's only worry is inflation. The officials underlined that the likelihood of a recession has increased.

 

Wall Street benchmarks finished in the negative and US 10-year Treasury rates saw their first weekly increase in three weeks to reflect the risk-averse sentiment of the previous day. However, S&P 500 Futures increased by 0.5 percent to 4,126 and US 10-year Treasury rates fell by 1.3 basis points (bps) to 2.942 percent as per the most recent data available.

 

Amid a pre-Fed blackout for Fed officials and in anticipation of Friday's US CPI, USD/TRY traders should pay attention to risk drivers moving forward.

Technical Evaluation

A successful breach of the prior resistance line from early January, about 16.45 at the time of publication, would lead USD/TRY values toward the $17.00 mark before testing the late 2021 top at $18.36.
