Bank of England Chief Economist Peel: We should not give the impression that "the current rate hike is the beginning of a series of rate hikes".On October 15th, at 8:11 AM, DeepSeeks website and app began experiencing service outages. The official service status page displayed "DeepSeek website/API service partially interrupted." As of 11:30 AM, DeepSeek had still not restored normal service, and the outage had lasted for over 3 hours. Industry analysts suggest the crash may have stemmed from a computing power supply issue. Regarding the cause and specific details of the crash, DeepSeeks official service status records show at least 10 large-scale outages this year, including reports of "service unavailable" and "service anomalies," as well as more frequent reports of "performance degradation."October 15th - A series of economic and geopolitical upheavals suggest that the European Central Bank (ECB) may need to adopt a slightly tighter monetary policy stance. This is the view expressed by one of the candidates to succeed Christine Lagarde as ECB president. "I think there is currently financial fragmentation, coupled with the outbreak of these geopolitical risks, which will continue to trigger a series of negative supply shocks," Klaus Noether said on Thursday. "Im concerned we may see more of this in the coming years." He added, "For the ECB, this means it may need to approach the 2% target more frequently from above rather than from below, so its policy stance is likely to become more hawkish." Noether, who served as governor of the Dutch central bank, will serve on the ECBs Governing Council for 14 years until 2025. He stated that the ECBs current "prudent" policy stance is "the right thing to do." "We must take the necessary measures, but minimize the impact as much as possible," he said. "The ECB enjoys a very high level of credibility, and I think that credibility will be very helpful in the current situation."On October 15th, renowned white-hat security researcher Yuki Chen announced his joining Zhipu.

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.
