Market Watch - Friday, September 15, 2023
Outlook:
The BIST100 Index started Thursday on a negative trend, tested 7,797 and ended the day at 8,119, up 1.31%. While the Banking Index decreased by 0.09%, the Industrial Index rose 0.93%. After the BIST's strong short-term rally profit-taking is observed due to the loss of momentum in domestic and international investor demand and the absence of significant expectations. Although there may be occasional reactionary purchases in the market, we think that these will offer a selling opportunity for the short term. That being said, since the high inflation and negative real interest environment will continue for some time yet, profit-taking will in turn present a buying opportunity for the medium term. In addition, the meeting of Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Simsek with foreign investors in the USA on September 19 may keep expectations alive, prompting buying. The fact that industrial production and retail sales data from China this morning printed better than expected supports risk appetite in key global stock markets. Elsewhere this morning, the U.S. futures, German DAX futures and Asian Stock Markets are trending positively. Industrial production data will be followed in the USA today, and may impact risk appetite. In the domestic market Central Government Budget data will be announced today. The VIOP-30 Index ended the evening session up 0.17%. Locally, we expect the Benchmark Index to start Friday with a positive trend, and reactionary purchases seem set to continue. SUPPORT: 8,080 - 7,977 RESISTANCE: 8,218 - 8,298.

*** Locally Central Government Budget data will be released today. Although public revenues have relatively recovered with tax increases, and expenditures have recovered with the exclusion of KKM from the budget, the deterioration in current transfers continues.
