Dashboard

• USD/TRY: 48.07
• EUR/TRY: 56.23
• Brent Crude: $94.39 / barrel
• Cotton: 88.60 cents / lb

Central banks release currency references solely on working business days; the exchange rate reference here dates from August 21. This is standard procedure for days coinciding with weekends and does not indicate outdated rates — the official benchmark itself carries that date.

How to Read the Table?

The EUR/TRY exchange rate trading notably above USD/TRY presents an advantageous landscape for producers exporting to Europe: the identical euro sales price converts into higher Turkish Lira earnings. Conversely, imported raw materials and mechanical hardware components are priced in US dollars; the variance between these two benchmarks must be evaluated on an itemized basis when structuring price lists.

Brent crude hovering around the $94 mark signals ongoing cost pressure across petroleum-linked synthetic fibers — particularly polyester — and plastic mechanism components. Meanwhile, cotton holding at 88 cents reflects persistent cost levels on the natural fiber front as well.
