events that may affect Turkish financial markets on Tuesday.

by 0514 GMT from 2.6542 late on Monday as the U.S. currency

points on Monday. The benchmark 10-year government bond yield

    GLOBAL MARKETS 
    Chinese shares extended their meteoric ascent to reach new 
heights on Tuesday, while much of the rest of Asia took a

    REACTION TO POPE COMMENTS
