A what‑if from the future

What if Turkey restarts rate cuts with inflation near 30%?

CBRT resuming cuts from 37% with inflation near 30% is unorthodox easing that triggers a fresh lira slide and dollarization — a domestic-Turkey event, so the trade is short TRY and long Turkish hard assets, with negligible US-curve transmission; the supplied gold/Treasury cascade is the wrong channel. Direct rhyme is the 2021 Erdogan-forced cuts that cratered the lira and spiked local gold/FX demand. Forward: each premature pivot deepens dollarization, making the next defense costlier.

Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving

Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 0–6 months horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.

What it would mean

If this plays out, it is a mixed shock. CBRT abandons its hold and resumes cutting from 37% with inflation near 30%, triggering a fresh lira slide and dollarization. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — EM currencies ▼ · Inflation expectations ▲ · Dollar/reserve confidence ▲ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.

If it happens — the markets it would move

Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Probable recommendation

If the scenario above plays out, the probable cross‑asset positioning → a scenario‑conditional read, not personalized investment advice
For a common-man portfolio: Mixed for a typical portfolio — the move is more about rotation than direction. Favour the winners over the losers below rather than net exposure.
Also moves (not yet on Hyperliquid): Turkish lira -1.1% · Indian rupee -0.9% · Chinese yuan -0.5% · Aussie dollar -0.2% · Tech sector -0.2% · 2y Treasury yield +1bp

Why we may diverge from history

Trust the cascade's SHORT on MSTR: its +18% realized is regime-contaminated — the +122% Feb-2024 analogue is a BTC structural bull print, not a lira-easing signal; that channel reaches MSTR only second-order.

Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did

Across 40 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.

Why this probability

CBRT serially abandons holds; resumed cutting from 37% with high inflation is its base-rate behavior. A base‑rate‑anchored prior, continuously scored against what actually happens — not a forecast.
