Market Watch - Thursday, August 15, 2024
Outlook:
The BIST100 Index started Wednesday on a positive trend, continued its fluctuating course throughout the day with sales, and closed the day at 9,830.94, down 0.90%. The Industrial Index lost 0.64% and the Banking Index fell 0.83%. Major global stock markets have significantly regained their losses recorded last week. Yet, the lack of a supporting story for the BIST, and our proximity to zones of high geopolitical tension, are pressuring the local bourse. Since the lack of expectations continues in the short term, we expect fluctuation at the BIST to persist. However, if the recovery in the Banking Index strengthens, a wider recovery may also be seen in the BIST. Global markets followed the US CPI data yesterday. The data, like the PPI data, printed slightly below expectations, increasing optimism about interest rate cuts. Yesterday, the U.S. and European stock markets closed with increases. This morning, the U.S. futures, German DAX futures and Asian stock markets are trading positively. We expect global markets to remain balanced unless incoming data increases recession concerns. On the domestic macroeconomic data agenda, Central Government Budget data for July will be announced today. The VIOP30 Index completed the evening session down 0.31%. Locally, we expect the Benchmark Index to start Thursday with reactionary purchases, and to continue its fluctuating course thereafter. SUPPORT: 9,750 - 9,600 RESISTANCE: 10,000 - 10,250.
Money Market:
The Lira was negative yesterday, weakening 0.19% against the USD to close at 33.6180. The currency also depreciated by 0.53% against a basket of $0.50 and €0.50. Meanwhile, the local fixed income markets were negative. The ten-year benchmark bond yield fluctuated between a range of 28.63%-28.73%, closing the day at 28.72%, up 9 bps from the previous close.
