The Turkish currency continues to decline, influenced by domestic political and economic issues, alongside falling stock prices and rising bond yields.
The Turkish lira has experienced a significant decline, dropping more than 10% in trading, marking its lowest value on record.
This depreciation has stirred concerns among investors and analysts as it reflects underlying issues impacting the Turkish economy.
Simultaneously, Turkish stocks have also faced declines, and bond yields have escalated, indicating a shift in market dynamics.
Historical patterns suggest that the lira tends to falter during periods of domestic uncertainty, illustrated by substantial declines of around 30% during past crises such as the failed coup attempt in 2016 and the onset of the economic crisis in 2018. The current economic landscape continues to be influenced by a combination of political instability and unfavorable economic metrics, which have heightened fears of further declines in the lira’s value.
