Market Watch - Friday, July 5, 2024
Outlook:
The BIST100 Index started Thursday on a positive trend and closed the day at 10,872.56, up 1.78%. As stocks such as TUPRS, THYAO, KCHOL made the highest contribution to the index by points, the Industrial Index rose 2.03%, while the Banking Index gained 1.03%. The short-term outlook is strengthening due to factors such as Moody's assessment, expected on July 19, and profit-taking may be expected. On the global front, while the U.S. Stock markets were closed yesterday, European bourses followed a positive trend. This morning, U.S. futures and German DAX futures are trading positively, while Asian stock markets in general are trending negatively. In the UK general election the Labor Party has declared victory after 14 years. In France the second round of elections takes place next Sunday. We think that European stock markets and global risk appetite may be positively affected by the lifting of uncertainty once the election outcome becomes clear. Non-agricultural employment data will be followed in the US today. The VIOP30 Index ended the evening session down 0.09%. Locally, we expect the Benchmark Index to start Friday somewhat positively, and to continue its rise throughout the day despite any profit-taking. SUPPORT: 10,800 - 10,600 RESISTANCE: 11,000 - 11,200.
