Turkish Lira crisis hits corporate borrowers


The ongoing crisis that has been affecting the Turkish Lira for several months is showing no sign of giving way, and the country's astonishing inflation rate of over 70% is testimony to the dire situation that the nation's economy is facing.

Turkey is an industrial and commercial powerhouse in the Middle East, and is home to the most developed and diversified industry base in the region, however whilst the productivity and quality of product are both high, and the work ethic is still being clearly demonstrated in a nation which has been open for business during times when others were less so, the Lira and its inflationary backdrop are a massive bugbear.

The US Dollar, along with all other major currencies, has continued to rise significantly against the Turkish Lira, and today's value for the USDTRY is 17.94.

Turkish companies which conduct business on an international basis have been faced with the volatility of Forex transactions when settling accounts with their partners and clients, and the continued decline in value of the Turkish Lira has landed them with a conundrum.

Yesterday the Turkish media reported that companies are borrowing in Lira partly to pay off their debts in foreign currency, and many companies in Turkey have used an average of around 30 Lira out of every 100 Lira borrowed from banks to settle their debts in US Dollars and Euros.

The sustained losses that the Turkish Lira has made against all major currencies over the past year has caused a dramatic increase in servicing the repayments of foreign debt for Turkish businesses, and this is how it is being addressed.

At the end of June, the Turkish government announced a ban on loans in Lira to companies holding what it deemed to be too much foreign currency.

This caused the Lira to whipsaw, a term referring to price movements in a volatile market when a stock or currency price will suddenly switch direction.

By June 27 the Lira made an unusual gain of approximately 8% gain in two days, trading at 16.01 to the US Dollar, up from the day before the announcement where it closed at 17.35.

But by late afternoon on the following Monday, it had pared some of those gains, decreasing slightly to 16.5 against the dollar, after whipsawing within the 16 to 17 lira per dollar range.

Clearly volatility is still rampant, however the switch toward using Lira to repay debt in overseas currencies could be a potential method of circulating the Lira more vigorously which may go some way toward helping it slow its downward spiral.

Currently, however, it is an uncertain market with an almost year-long record of a downward spiral.

The Roaring 20s! How trading the markets has advanced in just a few years


The 2020s is an exciting time to be trading the global markets.

In the previous decade, the electronic markets went through a revolutionary period. We witnessed the invention and uprising of cryptocurrencies, the 'influencer' generation beginning to move into the financial markets with memes and internet-based trends, and we saw the entire existing framework change in dramatic restructures in the trading methods of financial products traded on the electronic markets in the wake of the 2008/2009 financial crises.

European and American authorities began to make major changes which have fomented the sustainability of the electronic derivatives trading markets where traditional asset classes such as Forex, commodities and equities are concerned, and a whole host of decentralized asset classes have joined them along the way.

As the last exciting decade of revolutionary technological and regulatory development came to an end, the 2020s became a period of limitless innovation, in which FinTech, cryptocurrency and multi-asset trading has been embraced.

Along with the community-driven cryptocurrency revolution and its entry into the mainstream, came various geopolitical milestones that are unprecedented.


Lockdowns, inflation and a volatile commodities market, as well as a myriad of new traders who had switched their ambitions from working for a company prior to the lockdowns to seeking their own financial independence from the convenience of their own laptop or smartphone by trading the markets. We have entered the age of the analytical, pragmatic and goal-orientated trader.

Despite the cryptocurrency revolution and the massive number of people getting involved in investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum and all manner of new native tokens that are now hot property, the commodities market is the hot topic of the decade, and to be more specific: Oil.

Just as the oil market is as traditional as the actual fossil fuel itself, the modern stock market is the absolute opposite! A new era has come about, born out of the minds of mavericks and entrepreneurs seeking to build a community-driven marketplace where influencers are beginning to become market makers in their own right.


The ever-changing and ever increasingly innovative markets are at your fingertips. These are the times when your financial destiny is in your hands.
