1:35:46Now PlayingTurkey’s lira sank, an equity selloff triggered a trading halt, and government bond yields surged to the highest levels this year as investors dumped the nation’s assets after the arrest of a Istanbul's mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The lira plunged more than 10% to new record lows on news of the arrest early on Wednesday. The benchmark Borsa Istanbul 100 Index was also down, with the banking sub-index dropping. The declines were the worst in the world among respective asset classes. German lawmakers passed a landmark spending package that could unlock hundreds of billions of euros in debt financing for defense and infrastructure and heralding the end of decades of budget austerity. The legislation will head to a vote on Friday at the Bundesrat, where Germany’s 16 federal states are represented.
