TIME-OUT

" However, parallel to the rise in GOLD prices, MINING shares closed the day on average 1.89% higher, and as we alluded to our ICM call yesterday, one might consider taking a closer look at KOZAL amid the rising GOLD prices on the back of expected rate cuts especially from the US front in 2024.
" BofA and Deutsche Bank both predict interest rate cuts in the US in 2024, and DB also expects a "mild recession," thus their justification for the 175bps rate cut, starting with a 50bps cut in June, 2024, while BofA expects a 25bps rate cut in June 2024.
" Looking at our BIST30 Advancers and Laggards list, SASA-HEKTS and ENKAI were the biggest advancers, whereas ALARK-ASELS and BIMAS faced the biggest retreats yesterday.
" As of yesterday's close, the TRY is trading flattish against the USD at 28.91, but weaker against the Euro at 31.81, while the DXY is lower at 102.63-due to the dovish rhetoric regarding Fed interest rate policies. On the Bonds' side, both the 2yr and 10yr yields retreated by 27bps and 91bps to 40.73% and 29.25%, respectively. The 5yr CDS rates, have risen slightly to 342.

" Europe's largest asset management company, Amundi, stated that it has been impressed by the country's turnaround efforts since its mid-year elections, and while it is yet to go all in given the TRY's ongoing grind lower, they say they have taken the first step towards it by reversing long-held bets against the currency. The co-Head of EM Fixed Income, Mr. Sergei Strigo stated "We have started to cover our underweight in Turkish lira a few weeks ago," adding that the 500 basis-point interest rate hike to 40% in Turkey was "all very positive" and a sign of its seriousness in tackling its inflation problem. "We are not yet ready to increase the allocation (in the lira) but it is definitely on our radar screen."
" Perhaps one of the Fed most hawkish and outspoken presidents, Governor Christoper Waller, expressed yesterday his confidence that the policy to bring down inflation was in the right direction to get inflation back to 2%, and added that he could see a a point where the Fed might start lowering rates if inflation continues to ease over the next three to five months.
