The Turkish lira (USDTRY) will trade above 40.0 within 30 days as Hormuz closure diverts energy shipping through alternative routes including Turkish Straits, increasing Turkey's strategic exposure and current account pressure from elevated energy import costs

NEXUS forecast made 2026-03-08 at 75% probability. Resolved: Hit on 2026-04-07. Brier score 0.063.

Derived from: Knowledge bank 'Turkish Straits (Bosporus/Dardanelles) - Strategic Chokepoint Profile' noting 3M bpd transit through Turkish Straits, combined with confirmed Hormuz closure since March 2 (from 'Operator Context' and 'NEXUS Iran Call'). Turkey's energy import dependency and current account deficit worsen when global oil supply routes shift. The Montreux Convention limits military but not commercial traffic rerouting. Rising energy costs with lira already under structural pressure from inflation creates compounding depreciation force.
