Coreweave (CRWV.O) signed a third-quarter contract worth approximately $40 million per megawatt annualized.ECB Governing Council member Rehn: It could be said that we were in a good position in terms of inflation, given the latest shocks, but the signals are not the same now.On September 17th, the Bank of England cancelled its plan to sell long-term government bonds as part of a major overhaul of its quantitative easing program. Under the plan, its £488 billion portfolio would be gradually liquidated by September 2034. According to the still-unfinalized proposal, the bank would hold £120 billion of UK government bonds maturing in 2049 or later, matching them with future paper money issuance. Another £222 billion of bonds maturing before 2035 would be gradually liquidated, and the remaining £146 billion maturing between 2035 and 2049 would be sold at a rate of £20 billion per year, possibly directly to the government through the Debt Management Office. In a letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Bank of England Governor Bailey stated that the arrangement "maintains the independence of monetary policy" and will "maximize the effectiveness of funds by minimizing costs and risks during the programs implementation." All planned quantitative easing auctions will be suspended until April next year while consultations with the Debt Management Office (DMO) are underway regarding the terms of the sales. This postponement, by avoiding competition with government bond issuance, is expected to alleviate short-term pressure on government bond yields.On September 17, Liang Nan, Deputy Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, met with Yousef Hashim Aziz, Assistant Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates, in Beijing.

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.
