    A popular Turkey-focused ETF tumbles nearly 8% as cost of borrowing lira soars

    A popular way to bet on Turkey's stock market was tumbling sharply on Wednesday, as the Turkish government prevented foreign banks from accessing lira in so-called swaps transactions, a tactic intended to prevent bets against lira ahead of a weekend election, according to reports. That move has sent the overnight cost of borrowing lira, or swap rate, to 1,200% from 23%, according to Reuters. The exchange-traded iShares MSCI Turkey ETF was down 7.8% midday Wednesday as the Turkish lira was weakening sharply against bucks. The greenback last bought 5.4272 lira, up 1.9% against the Turkish currency, according to FactSet data. Volatility in Ankara's market comes ahead of a key vote on Sunday, with incumbent President Tayyip Erdogan fighting to keep his AK Party in power. Turkey's economy has been struggling with high, double-digit consumer-price inflation, an ailing currency and rising interest rates in the U.S., which had made Ankara's dollar-denominated debt burden more expensive in local currency terms. Erdogan has called for a ban on the use of U.S. dollars, which has sapped liquidity in markets that trade lira, including currency-trading hub London.

    More Tumult For The Turkey ETF

    Volatility is often the name of the game with the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (NASDAQ: TUR) and that has been the case in recent trading sessions. Last week, it was reported Turkey's official reserves unexpectedly declined, pushing the central bank there into surprise tightening measures that did little to stem the lira's slide. Turkish authorities have a history of clashing with international banks and credit ratings agencies when volatility spikes in the country's financial markets and that tradition was renewed following last week's lira plunge.

    Turkey ETF Plunges on Weakening Confidence in Lira Currency

    Turkey country-specific exchange traded fund was among the worst hit on Friday's sell-off as the broader risk-off mood coupled with the plunge in the Turkish lira currency dragged on this emerging market. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) was among the worst performing non-leveraged ETFs of Friday, plunging 10.5% and breaking below its long-term support at the 200-day simple moving average. On top of the broader risk-off selling that plagued the markets on Friday, Turkey's market was dragged down by an ongoing rout in the wake of an unexplained drop in official reserves, despite the Turkish central bank's surprise tightening to stem the fall.
