# Turkish central bank returned to buying forex, bought $2-3 bln, traders say

ANKARA, March 10 (Reuters) - The Turkish central bank returned to buying foreign currency on Tuesday, purchasing some $2–3 billion after global selling pressure eased amid tensions linked to the Iran war, three traders said.

It had sold around $23 billion in foreign exchange since the start of the conflict to cushion the domestic market from regional turmoil.
