Following an eventful Friday night in Turkey, the local currency recovered its losses on Monday and even trumped the US dollar, while the yen fell broadly as concern over the political status of the country eased.

The Turkish lira traded at 2.9575 in early Asian trade on Monday, a 2.1 percent increase for the day.
