YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
Stocks slipped on Monday as a financial crisis in Turkey that sent its currency tumbling last week worsened, dampening investor sentiment around the world. The Dow and S&P 500 post four-day losing streaks.
The Turkish lira, which briefly tumbled more than 20 percent on Friday, reached a fresh record low on Monday before regaining some footing. Turkey’s central bank tried to assuage global investors’ fears, stating it will provide as much liquidity as needed to the country’s banks. The Turkish economy has been reeling recently as its inflation rate reached 16 percent last month, well above the central bank’s 5 percent target.
Meanwhile, Spot gold prices sank below $1,200 per ounce for the first time since last year, losing out to U.S. Treasuries and a stronger dollar as investors sought refuge from a financial market rout triggered by a crashing Turkish lira.
