Coup in Turkey and Forex brokers
An attempted coup in Turkey was made on Friday evening, and as it turned out later - ineffective. Financial markets still had time to react before the weekend close. Of course, the most spectacular moves took place on the Turkish lira, which weakened against the euro by as much as 1700 pips in less than two hours.
The situation has already normalized, however, TRY pairs still need to be treated as higher-risk instruments. Therefore, some brokers have decided to significantly reduce the leverage on instruments related to the lira and even stop trading. FxPro decided to take such a step and now it only allows to close open positions with TRY in the symbol. We recommend careful and thoughtful investments in instruments related to countries with unstable economic and political situation.
