Then, a rough year for currencies like the lira and the Argentine peso might just be settling in: The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again today. We’ll explain how tighter monetary policy is contributing to volatility in Turkey, Argentina, and other emerging markets. Afterwards, the business of new digital currencies is heating up in Iceland as more companies set up bitcoin mines. We’ll take you there to find out why.
