Weekly Comment
EURUSD
Euro area finance ministers will today meet at 14:30. The main
topic will be recommendations to member states on fiscal and
economic policy. There will be particular attention on France which
has already announced that it will not be able to meet the
requirement of cutting the budget deficit to less than 3% of GDP.
There will also be focus on the overall stance of fiscal policy in the
euro area in light of recent weak data in the euro area and
discussions at this weekend's IMF and World Bank meeting.
In the coming week the most important data releases are euro area
industrial production tomorrow and retail sales in the US on
Wednesday.
We still favor selling Euro on rallies up to 1.2780 (building short
position) to test lower in the coming weeks 1.2500 level and lower
USDTRY
USDTRY traded in the 2.25-2.30 range on previous week after
hitting 8 months high on payroll Friday. USD strengthening looks
slowing pace after FED’s Fischer comments which might give
Emerging Market currencies a breath but Turkey’s domestic and
regional problems still putting pressure on Lira. More than 40
people were killed on the ISIS protests last week lead TRY
underperformance against its peers; pushed TRYZAR from 4.95’s
to August lows 4.86’s. On CBT side, CBT still keeping cash tight
after holidays in Turkey, might prevent wild moves on USDTRY.
Our view is still buy the dips on USDTRY. Support levels are
2.2680, 2.2640 and 2.2520 respectively, resistance levels lie on
2.2880, 2.2940 and 2.3070.
