USD/TRY and EUR/TRY

What’s the go with your USD/TRY and EUR/TRY pairs?

I don’t actually want to trade them because I’m not… well you know, mental. But they seem to be untradable on the Vantage FX platform?

Hey guys,

You are a little late unfortunately. This wasn’t something we could see coming and plan for, like with the Brexit vote. But our risk management office saw it fit to change pairs to close only (our clients had very minimal exposure to TRY anyway) before letting it all play out.

Thanks Vantage FX.

If only I was mental! …oh. :60:

At the weekly opening (5 pm Sunday, New York time), the USD/TRY broke 7.1000 in the first
5 minutes, before backing off to 6.7300 currently (1 am Monday, New York time).

Some people, myself included, were surprised that we did not see a gap on the opening.

This is a currency crisis for Turkey, but not the death of the Turkish currency.



To see a currency in its actual death-throes, watch the Venezuelan bolivar.
Currently, USD/VEF = 207,000
