Wall Street Rethinks Turkish Rate Path as Inflation Heads to 70%

Wall Street banks are again having to rewrite their outlooks for Turkish interest rates, as inflation climbs faster than expected.

Barely a week after being blindsided by a surprisingly steep rate hike to 25%, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp. are saying official borrowing costs may need to rise quicker — or higher — after price growth surged to almost 60% last month. With the lira coming under renewed selling pressure, policymakers likely won’t stop a monetary tightening cycle that already delivered the biggest rate increase in years to lift Turkey’s benchmark by 7.5 percentage points to 25%.
