Turkish Lira Falls as Erdogan Calls for Lower Interest Rates

The lira weakened against the dollar after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey should cut interest rates just hours before the central bank is due to review policy.

Speculation had been growing that the monetary authority would deliver a sizeable interest-rate increase on Thursday after it signaled potential action last week to help stem accelerating inflation.

The lira fell as much as 1.6 percent to 6.4584 per dollar.
