The main topic will be recommendations to member states on fiscal and economic policy. There will be particular attention on France which has already announced that it will not be able to meet the requirement of cutting the budget deficit to less than 3% of GDP. There will also be focus on the overall stance of fiscal policy in the euro area in light of recent weak data in the euro area and discussions at this weekend's IMF and World Bank meeting. In the coming week the most important data releases are euro area industrial production tomorrow and retail sales in the US on Wednesday. We still favor selling Euro on rallies up to 1.2780 (building short position) to test lower in the coming weeks 1.2500 level and lower USDTRY USDTRY traded in the 2.25-2.30 range on previous week after hitting 8 months high on payroll Friday. USD strengthening looks slowing pace after FED’s Fischer comments which might give Emerging Market currencies a breath but Turkey’s domestic and regional problems still putting pressure on Lira. More than 40 people were killed on the ISIS protests last week lead TRY underperformance against its peers; pushed TRYZAR from 4.95’s to August lows 4.86’s. On CBT side, CBT still keeping cash tight after holidays in Turkey, might prevent wild moves on USDTRY. Our view is still buy the dips on USDTRY. Support levels are 2.2680, 2.2640 and 2.2520 respectively, resistance levels lie on 2.2880, 2.2940 and 2.3070.
