Deutsche Bank forecasts a 100 basis point interest rate cut for the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB).

Deutsche Bank Expects Interest Rate Cut from TCMB

Deutsche Bank expects the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) to implement a 100 basis point interest rate cut at its monetary policy committee (PPK) meeting in March. Ozan Korman Tarman, Deputy Head of Global Macro at Deutsche Bank, pointed out important clues regarding the dynamics of the Turkish economy in his statements on this matter.

Tarman's Interest Rate Predictions

Tarman stated, “Our March forecast for Turkey is a 100 basis point cut. How prices will behave during Ramadan and February inflation are important,” he said. This situation is considered a good news for the markets, especially as inflation increases its impact on investors. It remains uncertain how the interest rate cut will affect inflation.

Risk Factors in Global Markets

Tarman also highlighted geopolitical risks in global markets. He emphasized the importance of monitoring the artificial intelligence bubble, debt issues, commodity rallies, and politics. “Currently, the champions in global markets are developing countries,” Tarman noted, adding that a potential recession in the U.S. or rising bond yields could disrupt the optimistic outlook.

The Fed's Interest Rate Policy

Additionally, Tarman discussed Deutsche Bank's predictions regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), stating, “I expect the Fed to cut rates three times starting in June this year.” These predictions could be significant for investors in determining market direction.
