FxWirePro: USD/TRY rallies to record peak, outlook remains bullish 

  • The Turkish Lira plunged to an all-time low as the greenback rose against a basket of currencies, while the Turkish central bank’s international reserves dried up amid the coronavirus crisis. 
     
  • The dollar rallied to a 1-week peak amid brewing tensions between the United States and China over the coronavirus outbreak. 
     
  • Moreover, yesterday's weaker than expected economic data continued to dent the bid tone around the Turkish currency. 
     
  • President Tayyip Erdogan said lockdown would be eased in some provinces, as the number of COVID-19 deaths and new cases in the country slowed. 
     
  • USD/TRY is trading 0.5 percent up at 7.0747, having hit a high of 7.0984 earlier, its highest since August 2018. 
     
  • Immediate resistance is located at 7.1010, any close above could take it above 7.1173 / 7.1246.
     
  • On the downside, support is seen at 7.0103 and break below could take it near 6.9950 (38.2% Fib) / 6.9786 (10-DMA).
