The Turkish lira rose for a third straight session against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, suggesting further stabilization in the currency just days after it tumbled to a record low. One dollar TRYUSD, +3.3044% USDTRY, -3.1987%bought 5.8342 lira, compared with 5.9868 late Wednesday in New York, a move of roughly 2.5%. Thus far this week, the lira is up 9.9% against the buck, supported by reports on Wednesday that Qatar would invest $15 billion in Turkey. Despite the recent gains, the lira remains lower by about 16% over the month of August. The recent losses have come amid concerns about the country's leadership, along with its high current account deficit, foreign currency-denominated debt, and high inflation.via
