ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The Turkish lira strengthened more than 3 percent on Thursday before a presentation by Finance Minister Berat Albayrak to investors, shrugging off U.S. comments ruling out the removal of steel tariffs on Turkey even if it frees a U.S. pastor.
The currency gained some support from the announcement late on Wednesday of a Qatari pledge to invest $15 billion (£11.8 billion) in Turkey and Albayrak will be looking to reassure investors in his conference call at 1300 GMT.
