RTRS: Turkish lira hits record 1.9 low against dollar
Oct 4 (Reuters) - The Turkish lira fell to a new record low of 1.9 against the dollar on Tuesday, hit by bearish global sentiment as well as the central bank's acknowledgement that inflation would end the year above its 5.5 percent target.
At 1153 GMT, the lira stood at 1.9033 against the U.S. currency, weakening some 2 percent from an interbank close of 1.8660 on Monday. It has lost more than 18 percent of its value against the dollar this year. (Writing by Daren Butler; editing by Sujata Rao)
