Title: More TL for your £
Post by: KKOB on November 24, 2011, 20:45:50 PM: The Turkish Lira's value against the dollar fell 1 percent in one day following a downgrade on the country's outlook by Fitch Ratings. The bourse closed the day with a 1.7 percent loss. The shift in outlook reflects an increase in near-term risks to stability as Turkey should reduce its current-account gap and inflation rate, Fitch says.

Title: More TL for your £
Post by: Colwyn on November 25, 2011, 18:50:44 PM: The TL has gone over 2.9/£ three times over that last few months but has twice regained strength and sunk lower. So, this time will it break the "magic" 3TL/£ barrier for the first time in the last five years or so?

Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets now. The wheel is about to spin.

If the TL falls against the USD, it's a pretty sure bet that it'll fall against the £ too.

It's 2.94 to the £ today.

Is that clearer for you ? :D

According to the Coinmill exchange rate at the bottom of the page the £ hit 3TL today.

(However, this is not reflected in the BBC's figures which show it topping out at 2.976 yesterday before going back down to 2.946 currently).

I'm sorry KKOB but lance comes from Outland and it's his native tongue, you can't blame him for your ignorance of the language[:(!]
