A sudden flash! Is the Turkish lira cool again?

SMM3 25 news: the Turkish currency lira began to plummet again!

In fact, the collapse of the Turkish currency was to be expected. Turkey's negative growth in the fourth quarter of 2018, its worst performance in a decade, startled the market, and three months of falling GDP growth collapsed confidence in Turkey, so it makes sense that the lira was sold off this time. And the magnitude can not be compared with the collapse of the lira in Turkey last year, and we do not rule out that there is a bigger collapse in the future.

Last year's lira crash can be blamed on Trump, whose sanctions dealt an unprecedented blow to the Turkish lira, prompting tourists from around the world to travel to Turkey to buy luxury goods. The crash is Turkey's own problem and confirms that Turkey's economic development cannot withstand any impact. To put it bluntly, the so-called economic development is nothing more than a pile of money and driven by the indiscriminate issuance of money. This in itself is unsustainable. At present, the inflation rate in Turkey is about 20%, and the base interest rate has reached 24%. I don't know how much longer Turkey will last.

Indirect Iran-US Nuclear Talks in Muscat Show Progress, Omani FM Mediates Tense but Efficient Discussions
After intensive indirect consultations, the new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Muscat, the capital of Oman, has achieved phased progress. It is reported that during this round of talks, the Iranian and US delegations did not meet directly. Instead, Omani Foreign Minister Badr acted as an intermediary, conveying a series of core proposals, strategic concerns, and policy positions to the other side. The atmosphere at the talks was tense yet efficient. According to preliminary on-site assessments, although both sides continue to negotiate over specific terms, they have reached a consensus on the key objective of "continuing dialogue."
