Fell in the same trap when we first arrived - changed some to Tl at 3ish and it plummeted to about 2.3ish - got the right hump but sat on it - eventually went to about 3.5 and I bailed - never been tempted to dabble again!Keithcaley wrote: ↑Sat 20 Feb 2021 10:15 amsunseasand wrote: ↑Fri 19 Feb 2021 5:19 pma changed a rite bloodi lump up when it was nearli 7 tl ta pund and me bein yorkshire man thought i waz doin well hahah u liv n learn

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
Why did u get the hump when you bought at 3 and it fell to 2.3.......
It's the converse at that point your tl had strengthened considerably
I think your wise not to dabble....

TL weakening again so are we to assume they are building up their foreign reserves again?
If nothing else at 10 to the pound it makes the maths very easy.

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
Erdogan spoke and defended albayraks previous actions a day or so ago the tl reacted accordingly also £ has been strengthening against $. Out of interest one investment manager this morning on Bloomberg said they are forecasting 1.60 to the $ by year end . So further upside the in the tl/gbp might be limited by strength of £ against a basket of currencies . Having said that these forecasters are just guessing like everybody else but they do it for a living still prone to getting it wrong. Maybe start thinking about a holiday in USA....

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
I went to change $750 today in Famagusta I counted out the money at the counter. They ran it throught the machine 750 appeared on the display till in red. They gave me the tl and a ticket. I got to the car and checked the ticket said $710.....I went back they still had the $750 on the counter I gave them the ticket....they said oh they had made an input error on the computer......
.I can't see how that was possible I'm pretty sure others can see what has gone on here

It's quite unbelievable but erdogan has done it again....he sacked the central bank governor. Just as I thought there would be a reprieve it really is an astonishing act....I cant believe this Wii be received well...
https://www.ft.com/content/86bef727-66d ... e846a276fd
The new governor is an economic columnist for the Islamic pro goverment newspaper yeni safak.........
https://www.sozcu.com.tr/2021/ekonomi/p ... r-6324745/
As expected he also supports erdogans unorthodox view that high interest rates cause inflation.....

Must have been a fortune teller. I think your confusing the central bank governor raising interest rates by 2% which did indeed lead to an increase in the tl. Then today erdogan sacked him......

Yes I could well be now you mention it. Even so a big change in the exchange rate in the opposite direction again. Was considering putting a bit back into tl to take advantage of the interest rate for a while but the uncertainty puts paid to that. Getting sod all in the UK doesn't help.

I was told yesterday that one bank is offering 22+% interest. It is just if that can beat the inflation over the coming months. Crystal ball where are you?

Like everyone else responding, I also always get it wrong with investments. My solution now with TL, is to leave it where it is, watch it grow and leave it to the kids

Analysts at TD Securities consider the Turkish lira may easily selloff 10-15%. “We expect the Asia open on Monday to experience a very sharp upside move in USD/TRY by 3-5% to around 7.50. Next resistance is in the 7.79 area (8 March high), but then we see a move above 8.00 very likely in the coming hours or days, depending on the countermeasures deployed”.

A lot of that Guardian column made sense but then again it is the Guardian who thought Venezuela was the economy of the future. Also It's not unknown for companies to take a position on currencies or shares and then try to talk them up or down.Reyntj wrote: ↑Sat 20 Mar 2021 7:12 pmAnalysts at TD Securities consider the Turkish lira may easily selloff 10-15%. “We expect the Asia open on Monday to experience a very sharp upside move in USD/TRY by 3-5% to around 7.50.

17% fall in early trading.......!!!!!
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... 20November.
I think a lot of Japanese are long on the lira so they are closing out positions which has amplified the fall.

Unless Turkey carry out complete restructuring of their economic model they are doomed to continued currency weakness and eventual full capital controls.
Whilst Erdogan pulls the strings the necessary reforms cannot take place.

Good point Erol. Question is 8n a country that already imposes soft capital controls with many if its citizens holding foreign currency and interest rates at 19% and depleted foreign reserves having spent 100 billion what are the options moving forward if the Turkish lira losses continue...the fall today has been the biggest fall in 20 years!

Rate this morning is 11.16
It was 11.24 half hour earlier so has recovered a little. But, expect it will fall further once all markets open today.

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
Only 7 % now ! I think the earlier fall was exacerbated by thin trade and probably some Japanese retail traders who where long getting closed out.
There is talk of capital controls on Bloomberg but no surprise there as they do always have a go at turkey .

I presume you are aware that soft capital controls have been introduced over the past couple of years. Hard capital controls will be the inevitable result because Erdogan calls the shots and will not reform.
I can only say it as I see it and no-one is obliged to take any notice but I repeat I would not have anything but loose change in lira or a Turkish bank
Also, when I advised not to hold any lira in 2016 it was trading 4tl to the pound. It's now worth getting on for a third of what it was then.
My intention was to help people see the inevitable carnage.
And hard capital controls will be the end game.

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
You'd think Erdogan would be getting the pattern by now.
Cut interest rates currency goes down.
Raise interest rates, currency goes up.
Get into a dick measuring contest with the biggest market on Earth, currency goes down.
Promote someone to overlook the economy that people have confidence in, currency goes up.
Promote someone to overlook the economy that no one has confidence in, currency goes down.
They can train rats with treats and punishments so you'd think he'd get the hang of actions and consequences.

Re: Current exchange rates GBP to TL
The UK £ is strong on the back of vaccine roll out. Against the US$ and Euro sterling has gathered strength past weeks. The UK economy is deemed better placed to come out positively and more quickly from pandemic related recession. Investors will see this as a carpet bag scenario to make a quick profit. The loss of EU trade for the UK will only come onto the radar when the world economy enters recovery mode and world trade can pick up the pieces.
The TL remains a risky currency and is in little demand against the favourites. Turmoil in Turkey is not helping and internal decision to trade in Euros for exports further threatens the currency. TL volatility and the associated inflation and uncertainty has left many caught short. To invest heavily in TL particularly in TRNC banks is highly risky and should be avoided.
