The currency holds in red for the sixth straight day and eyes psychological 7.00 level.

The damage caused by coronavirus lockdown was bigger in emerging markets that additionally weigh on lira.
Attempts of Turkish authorities to stem lira’s weakness by indirect interventions, so far did not give significant results, with additional problem arising from fall of CBRT’s foreign reserves below the requirement.
