Türkiye's five-year credit default swap (CDS), a key gauge of the country's sovereign risk, fell to 225 basis points on Monday, marking its lowest level since Feb. 26, as easing Middle East tensions lifted investor sentiment and boosted appetite for risk assets.
The decline coincided with a broad rally across global markets following the agreement between Washington and Tehran, which is expected to end months of conflict and pave the way for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy transit routes.
On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that an agreement with Iran had been finalized and said he was authorizing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of a U.S. naval blockade.
"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!" Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
The easing of Middle East tensions supported emerging-market assets, while lower oil prices improved sentiment toward energy-importing economies such as Türkiye.
