Lira Hits Rock Bottom After Shock Rate Cut -- Is the Carry Trade Party Over?

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) is urging caution on the Turkish liraeven as it still delivers positive returns in real terms. The call follows a 300 basis-point rate cut by Turkey's central bank on Thursday, which dragged the lira to a record low of 41.9184 per dollar. That brings year-to-date losses to about 13%, but thanks to high inflation, carry traders have continued to pocket real gains. Still, Morgan Stanley flagged a faster pace of depreciation and crowded positioning that could start to unwind. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with MCO. Goldman Sachs previously called the lira one of the most profitable carry trades globallybut warned that its shine could fade if policymakers let the currency slide further. Thursday's cut, which pushed the policy rate down to 43%, may have caught some off guard, but Deutsche Bank framed it as a front-loaded adjustment rather than a pivot away from prudence. Barclays added that as long as dollar-adjusted returns hover around 1% per month, the trade remains palatable. But that confidence could be fragile if volatility creeps back in. Now the market's attention shifts to sovereign rating updates due Friday from Moody's (NYSE:MCO) and Fitch. Moody's has Turkey rated four notches below investment grade (with a positive outlook), while Fitch is three notches below (stable). Whether recent disinflation trends and macro stabilization efforts are enough to move the needle remains to be seen. Political risk, including the recent arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, is still lurking in the backdropand could be what tips the scale, not economic data alone.
