The Turkish lira was steady against the dollar early on Thursday after Turkish troops and their Syrian opposition allies launched a ground operation against the YPG terror group in northeast Syria overnight.

The lira was quoted at 5.8671/5.8716 against dollar at 0421 GMT, compared with a day earlier close of 5.8679. It weakened 0.5% on Wednesday when the operation began with air strikes.
