Turkish lira holds steady against the dollar after US imposes sanctions on Ankara for acquiring Russian S-400 air defence systems

The Turkish lira has held steady as investors weighed the impact of US sanctions over the country's purchase of a Russian S-400 defence system, while the country's benchmark stock index reached a record high.

Turkey's benchmark stock index reached a record high, with Halkbank jumping 5 percent. The bank was previously indicted on charges of helping Iran evade US sanctions. "The underlying story for the rouble is pretty constructive. You've got oil prices that are looking a lot more solid than they were before. That's very good, particularly for their current account surplus," Kinsella said.
