Ecglcd：Turkey halts lending to more FX-rich firms to boost lira

 Turkey tightened lending rules for many companies with more than $500,000 in foreign currency cash on Friday, sweeping up more borrowers under rules adopted in June in the latest step to reverse a tumbling lira.


The BDDK bank regulator said that if companies subject to independent audit had more than 10 million lira ($538,000) of forex cash assets, and they exceed 5% of total assets or annual revenues, they will not be allowed to receive new lira loans.


The parameters were adjusted from those issued four months ago when they covered companies with 15 million lira of forex assets that exceed 10% of total assets or annual revenues.


The lira currency has touched record lows in recent weeks largely due to authorities' unorthodox policy of slashing interest rates in the face of soaring inflation.

  Russia estimates the new cut-off price for its budget rule that diverts excess oil revenues into its wealth fund at $62-$63 per barrel and may resume foreign currency purchases as early as this year, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Wednesday. The rule, designed to replenish state reserves by buying foreign currency when oil prices are high, was fully suspended amid harsh Western sanctions imposed after Moscow launched what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Siluanov, whose ministry published spending plans from its National Wealth Fund (NWF) earlier on Wednesday, said domestic borrowing would be ramped up to the tune of around $43 billion next year, with extra borrowing to reduce NWF spending also possible. "We are planning on big volumes on the borrowing market - 2.5 trillion roubles ($43 billion) next year on a gross basis," Siluanov said. "Plus, the government will be given the right to carry out additional borrowing of ...

Ecglcd：Dollar Surges to Fresh 20-Year High on Hawkish Fed

  The U.S. dollar jumped to a new 20-year high against a basket of currencies on Thursday, extending gains after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and struck a more hawkish than expected tone in its latest meeting. The dollar index rose as much as 1% to 111.47, its highest level since June 2002, while dollar index futures rose 0.3% to 111.427. Both indicators rallied on Wednesday after the Fed decision. 10-year U.S. Treasury yields surged to an 11-year high. The Fed raised interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday, as expected. Chairman Jerome Powell warned that the bank will keep hiking rates at a sharp clip, even risking pressure on economic growth and the labor market, as it struggles to rein in runaway inflation. The hawkish comments cemented expectations that U.S. interest rates will end the year well above 4% - their highest level in over 14 years. The central bank also intends to keep rates higher for longer, with cuts beginning only in 2024. Inflation is expect...
