Turkish Central Bank Says Sells Dollars, After Lira Plunge Low

The Turkish Central Bank said on Wednesday it was intervening in the foreign exchange market, selling dollars due to “unhealthy price formations” after the lira plunged to a fresh record low against the U.S. currency overnight.

At 0915 GMT, the lira stood at 13.53 to the dollar, still 0.8% weaker on the day. It had weakened more than 3% to 13.87 earlier, near its overnight record low of 14.0.
