Full Steam Ahead
The BIST continued its uptrend trading momentum thanks to last week's soft inflation figures from the major markets, falling local CDS rates, and calm news flow.
As such, the BIST100 managed to close the day 1.18% higher at 7946, and with a relatively higher turnover of TRY 85.1bn, more than the usual 70s, however, we observed the BIST facing resistance at the 8000 level.
The Conglomerates were yesterday's best performing stocks, closing on average 2.09% higher, and the Mining stocks closed 1.93%, however, despite the sharp fall in the 5yr CDS rates to their lowest levels since April 19th, 2021, we would have expected a much better reaction from the Banks, increasing by a mere 1.04%, thus lagging the general index.
ASELS, ARCLK, and SAHOL took the gold-silver and bronze medals among the blue-chip stocks, whereas BIMAS-ALARK and FROTO were the most sold.
