    Turkey ETF Plunges in Response to Erdogan’s Iron Grip on Economy

    The sell-off in Turkish markets and country-specific ETF continued Tuesday as the lira currency depreciated on rising concerns over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's executive powers. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) declined 3.1% Tuesday after falling off 3.3% Monday, which have more or less erased the gains accumulated since mid-June. Dragging on the Turkish markets, the lira currency weakened 4% against the U.S. dollar late Monday after Erdogan appointed his son-in-law as finance minister and placed measures that could diminish the independence of the central bank, the Wall street Journal reports.

    Turkey ETF Jumps as Ankara Looks to Supportive Policies

    A Turkey country-specific ETF climbed Thursday as the country's new administration aims to lower interest rates and lower inflation to help support the economy. “Lowering interest rates and lowering inflation will be at the top of our priorities,” Yildirim told the state-run Anadolu news agency. Consumer inflation in Turkey hit a 14-year high of 15.4% in June, which has pushed for calls for a fresh round of interest rate hikes at the next central bank meeting on July 24.

    Turkey delivers another rate hike, sending currency soaring

    The Turkish lira jumped to a one-week high against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, after Turkey’s central bank delivered a sizable hike to its benchmark interest rate in response to the country’s double-digit inflation — and said it was prepared to tighten further if needed. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey upped its one week repo auction rate to 17.75% from 16.5% as it aimed to stabilize prices. This was the CBRT’s second rate hike within just over two weeks, and its third this quarter.

    Italy Without the Euro Would Not Be Argentina or Turkey---It Would Be the U.K.

    In my Economy column last week, I argued that the euro area’s flaws explain much of Italy’s economic problems over the past decade. Italian borrowing costs, in their view, would always have a pro-cyclical credit component even if Italy had its own currency the Bank of Italy could print. Brazil, for example, has its own currency and a large locally denominated sovereign bond market, yet was forced to raise interest rates and cut its budget deficit in the midst of its worst recession in decades.

    Is Turkey's Tumble a Warning to Emerging Market Investors?

    As the Turkish lira sinks to record lows after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hinted at the idea of taking some control of central bank policy, it raises the specter of a return of the ‘Fragile Five,' which sent emerging markets into a rout in 2013. While a problem might be brewing in emerging markets—the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) has dropped 2% to $46.55 at 1:55 p.m. today—the recent weakness is largely a response to country-specific issues, rather than structural ones. In 2013, when the Federal Reserve hinted it would reduce its bond-buying program, the Fragile Five—as a Morgan Stanley analyst termed Turkey, Brazil, India, Indonesia and South Africa—cratered.
