Turkey ETF Lower: 12.25% Interest Rate Holds
The central bank in Turkey kept rates on hold Thursday, pointing to the end of a rate-tightening cycle. The iShares MSCI Turkey exchange-traded fund (TUR) slipped 1.2% in morning trading, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) fell 1.3%. Turkey's central bank has raised the average cost of funding by around 350 basis points this year and analysts largely expected that the central bank would keep the one-week repo rate at 8%, the overnight rate at 9.25%, and the late liquidity rate – the key rate for monetary policy – at 12.25%, notes Capital Economics Economist William Jackson.

Weak Emerging Markets Rise & Ebb After Fed Hike
Emerging market equities seem to be happy with the Fed, which raised interest rates by lifting its target for the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points 1% to 1.25% as expected Wednesday. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund (EEM) rose after the decision, but then flat-lined. Countries that depend on foreign investment or have struggled to with their current account deficits cheered more, apparently in thanks for a not-higher rate: the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) was up 1% initially, but was up 0.3% at 3 p.m.. The iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA) was up 1.2%, but tempered that gain to 0.6%.
