Asian shares down on trade anxiety; lira, rouble hit by economic worries
Asian stock markets fell on Friday amid heightened global trade tensions, while currency markets were whipsawed by a searing selloff in Russia's rouble after the United States slapped new sanctions, and as economic worries sent the Turkish lira tumbling. The rouble slid to its lowest level since late 2016 on Thursday, hitting 66.7099 roubles to the dollar. Turkey's lira fell to record lows against the dollar on Thursday, with a meeting between a Turkish delegation and U.S. officials in Washington yielding no apparent solution to a diplomatic rift over the detention in Turkey of a U.S. pastor.
