TURKEY: Fitch Describe Recent Drop in Reserves as "Significant"

Fresh comments from U.S. President Trump apply some more weight to equities and allow bonds tot ick away from lows.

• Trump says "Countries from all over the World are talking to us. Tough but fair parameters are being set. Spoke to the Japanese Prime Minister this morning. He is sending a top team to negotiate! They have treated the U.S. very poorly on Trade. They don’t take our cars, but we take MILLIONS of theirs. Likewise Agriculture, and many other “things.” It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!"
