The Turkish lira weakened sharply to a record low against the U.S. dollar after Ekrem Imamoglu, the main opposition challenger to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was arrested.
The Turkish lira plunged as much as 12% to 41 per dollar before paring some losses and settling above 39 per dollar, still marking a fresh record low.
