Turkey’s lira fell, adding to losses of about 1 percent on Monday, as investors awaited a speech by Central Bank Governor Murat Uysal.

The lira dropped 0.2 percent to 6.12 per dollar as of 11:50 a.m. local time. The decline yesterday, sparked by concerns about the coronavirus and tensions in Syria, marked the lowest level for the currency in regular trading since May.
