ISTANBUL (AA) – The Turkish lira lost value against the U.S. dollar Thursday morning amid somewhat abating Brexit fears, thanks to reassurances from the world's major central banks that they could introduce additional measures to limit market volatility.
The lira was also positive Wednesday, gaining 0.28 percent against the American currency to close at 2.8925
The two-year benchmark bond was traded within a range of 8.67 to 8.78 percent Wednesday, ending the day at a low of 8.75 percent, 3 base points above its previous close.
No major Turkish data announcement is expected Thursday. However, the market will closely watch jobless claims data from the world's largest economy, the U.S.
