Turkish PPI YoY (Jul) Y/Y 27.83% (Prev. 28.09%)

Turkish PPI is released alongside CPI on the same print day, and its role in the calendar is well established: it is the pipeline gauge, read for what it signals about consumer inflation two to three months out rather than as a market mover in its own right. A marginal easing in the annual rate, as here, fits the disinflation sequence Turkish data have followed after past tightening cycles, where producer prices have tended to crest before the headline rate and then decline faster, reflecting the pass-through of lira moves and energy costs into factory-gate prices. The channel that matters for the lira and local rates is the central bank's reaction function: policymakers have historically conditioned the pace of easing on sustained monthly disinflation, so the detail worth watching is the month-on-month print and the spread between PPI and CPI, since a narrowing gap has typically preceded compression in consumer inflation. Lira reaction to producer data alone has generally been muted; the repricing in the short end and in CDS has tended to come with the CPI print and the subsequent rate-setting meeting. Next tells are the CPI release that pairs with this data and any guidance from the central bank on the disinflation path.
