FX Rate and Inflation Impact
The USD/TRY pair fluctuated intraday around 18.45, injecting volatility that directly reflected in lira‑denominated gold prices. Inflation expectations and anticipation of the CBRT’s policy‑rate stance kept safe‑haven demand elevated.Gold Price Breakdown by Weight
Historical Trend and Forward Outlook
Last week gold posted a 1.2 % weekly loss, yet today’s 0.4 % gain eased short‑term pressure. Technical indicators show an RSI of 58, staying above the 50‑day moving average, suggesting bullish momentum may persist. Analysts note that if the exchange rate holds above 19.00 TRY/USD, gram gold could test the 6,200 TL level.As Zeynep Kaya, I view gold’s intraday resilience as a reflection of subdued real yields and persistent haven demand. Nevertheless, a sharp appreciation of the lira‑dollar rate could trigger a short‑term pull‑back in local prices; in that scenario, maintaining gold exposure between 10‑15 % of a portfolio and tilting toward dollar‑denominated assets would be a prudent approach.
