Market Watch - Tuesday, February 21, 2023
Outlook:
The BIST100 Index started Monday on a positive trend, continuing a fluctuating intraday rise to close at 5,148.932, up 2.43%. The Industrial Index diverged positively, up 4.05%, while the Banking Index diverged negatively, up 0.24%. We expect the money inflow to the BIST to continue until purchases within the scope of increasing the share of PPS funds in the state contribution from 10% to 30% are completed. However, the volatile course will likely continue for some time following the strong reactionary purchases. In major global stock markets, Asian Stock Markets ended Monday with gains, while the U.S. and European Stock Markets were generally selling on the back of the stronger Dollar and messages from central banks on tight monetary policy. We think that future macro data and the statements of central bank members will remain important in the course of global markets. The VIX rose above 21, indicating increased volatility and selling pressure in the U.S. Stock Markets. The U.S. and German DAX futures were trading with a negative trend this morning, while Asian Stock Markets were mixed. The VIOP-30 Index closed the evening session up 0.13%. Locally, we expect the Benchmark Index to start Tuesday positively, and despite any intraday pullbacks reactionary purchases should continue amid low momentum. SUPPORT: 5,080 - 4,970 RESISTANCE: 5,208 - 5,320.
