Gold Import Quota Hits Turkish Jewelry Sector: $20 Billion Export Potential at Risk

The Turkish jewelry sector is experiencing a significant contraction in exports due to the quota imposed on gold imports. Mustafa Özcan, Chairman of the Jewelry Exporters' Association, stated that the quota creates a price differential in the sector, encouraging unregistered earnings and illegal gold trade. Özcan noted that without the quota, the sector could achieve an export potential of $20 billion. The price gap caused by the quota has created a multibillion-dollar area for unregistered earnings, further fueling illegal gold trading. Industry representatives predict that if the current trend continues, the sector will close the year with exports of $7-8 billion, well below its potential. Having lost approximately one-third of its workforce over the past two years, the sector is calling on authorities to remove the quota. Mustafa Özcan emphasized that urgent measures are needed to maintain the sector's competitiveness and achieve export targets. This is not investment advice.

The news of a gold export quota is a negative development for the sector and could create pressure on the stock. Although technical indicators show RSI at 60 and MACD positive, the recent 5% rally in the last close suggests the stock is approaching overbought territory. In the short term, profit-taking and uncertainty from the news may lead to a downward trend. However, the stock remaining above SMA20 and SMA50 indicates that any decline could be limited.
