It's becoming quite the regular occurrence in markets these days to see stuff like this happening. But such is the world we live in where Twitter has become a critical source of relaying and/or receiving information.
In the currencies space, much of the earlier move is still sustained with EUR/USD trading close to 1.1400 still and GBP/USD near 1.2770. USD/JPY remains close to the 110.60 level as well. As for the lira, it's back up to trade around 6.90 to 6.95 against the dollar currently.
Equities are also holding a little more steady with only the IBEX and Italy's MIB among the major laggards still. France's CAC 40 is trading in the black even after the denial here.
