(Bloomberg) -- Turkey’s benchmark stock gauge slumped, led lower by banks, as the country’s currency fell for a third day after authorities ordered a re-run of mayoral elections in Istanbul.
The Borsa Istanbul 100 index fell as much as 2.5 percent and was down 2 percent as of 10:15 a.m. local time, set for its lowest close since January and reversing gains for 2019.
