TURKEY: JP Morgan Maintain Year-End Inflation Forecast at 65%
- After the forecasted acceleration until May 2024, JP Morgan expect a slower and protracted disinflation process in 2H24 and potentially afterwards assuming stickier services prices.
- They maintain their 2023 year-end forecast at 65% and expect inflation to peak at 73% in May 2024 and end 2024 at 40% with risks on the upside. Since they see persistent inflation, JPM forecast further monetary tightening to address inflationary pressures.
- As elevated services inflation suggests protracted disinflation process in 2H24, JPM see upside risks to their end-2023 policy rate forecast of 35% and their end-2024 policy rate forecast of 45%.

The AUDUSD trend condition remains bearish and recent gains appear to be a correction. Resistance at the 20-day EMA of 0.6489 has been pierced, but markets look to cement a break before any reversal higher can be confirmed. The 50-day EMA is at 0.6571 - a key resistance. A resumption of the downtrend and a break of 0.6365, the Aug 17 low, would resume the downtrend and open 0.6285 next, the Nov 4 2022 low.

Prices faltered again Friday, with the cross retreating further off the cycle high. The trend outlook is bullish and the move lower is considered corrective - for now. The pair has pierced the 20-day EMA, a continuation lower would expose 156.87 and 156.48, the Aug 23 low and the 50-day EMA. This week’s fresh cycle high, reinforces bullish trend conditions and confirmed a resumption of the uptrend. A break of the 50-day EMA would undermine the uptrend.
