TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The euro recovered on Tuesday from earlier losses linked to the collapse of the Turkish lira, but investors said the exposure of European banks to Turkey would continue to hound the single currency.
The lira has fallen almost 30 percent this month on concerns about a diplomatic rift with the United States and President Tayyip Erdogan’s reluctance to raise interest rates despite rising inflation.
The lira pulled back on Tuesday from Monday’s record low of 7.24 after the Turkish central bank pledged to provide liquidity in response to a meltdown that unsettled global markets.
