In his address to the nation this morning, US President Trump said, “We will hit Iran very hard in 3-4 weeks. They will return to the Stone Age.” Trump, who shook the markets yesterday by saying that he would end the war within 3-4 weeks, brought anxiety to the markets again this time.
After Trump’s statements, oil prices increased by more than 5 percent and exceeded 105 dollars again, while US stock market futures are traded with declines of more than 1 percent. Asian stock markets are also experiencing losses exceeding 1 percent.
Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek, who was in London to contact investors, gave the message to investors that “Türkiye can manage the shock of war”. In the presentation, it was emphasized that energy supply security is not at risk and that the limited effects of the rise in oil prices on inflation and current account balance are managed with fiscal buffers.
He said that the assumption of 85 dollars in oil prices could affect inflation by 3.6 points to 4.4 points and reduce growth by 0.6 to 1.5 points.
Banking and reserve figures will be followed today. According to the figures announced last week, it was revealed that the CBRT spent 30 billion dollars to reduce the impact of the war.
