CBRT: Barclays: Sees Rates Unchanged Throughout 2022
Jun-22 14:23
Despite ongoing pressure on the TRY and deteriorating inflation, we do not expect the CBT to change its stance.
Although we keep our policy rate forecast unchanged at 14% for the rest of this year, there is a high a non-negligible risk of a big rate hike in Q4 22, as the energy bill is likely to exert significant pressure on foreign reserves in winter months.
If this risk materializes, we would expect the CBT to deliver a big front-loaded hike.
Another wide range session for EGBs and Bund, and contracts have mostly seen Yield rise following ECB Lagarde's comment during the European morning session setting off the tone.
