• The sharp sell-offs at the BIST continued yesterday too, closing 1.26% lower, thanks to the late dip-buying, ending the day at 5361, and with a turnover of TRY 87.5bn.
• The Banks diverged positively from their peers, amid heightened speculation of a considerable rate hike at next week’s MPC meeting, and encouraged by President’s support for the actions of the new economy team, albeit reiterating his low interest-rate low inflation rate rhetoric, and the Transportation stocks also rose considerably, encouraged by PGSUS’s May passenger count, and expectations of a buoyant tourism season, whereas the Industrials and the REITs were the most sold stocks.
• Thus, looking at our BIST30 table, YKBNK, THYAO and ISCTR were the best performers, whereas KOZAA, KOZAL and EKGYO found themselves on the wrong end of the table.
• Today, we expect a slightly positive opening, despite the negative mood in the global markets on the back of the surprisingly hawkish Fed-talk, and ECB meeting, with local media announcements expected to steer the direction of trading.
• As of yesterday’s close, the TRY is trading flat against both the USD and the Euro at 23.58 and 25.52, respectively, whereas the DXY has risen slightly to 103.34.
• Both the 2yr and 10yr rates fell by 13bps and 31bps to 16.75% and 17.74%, respectively.
• On the commodity front, Brent is trading a tad higher at USD 73.49, and both ounce and gram GOLD prices have retreated slightly to USD 1935 and TRY 1468, respectively.
• The FOMC left the interest rates unchanged as expected, what was not expected however, was two more rate hikes coming this year, pushing the “dot plot” median expectations to 5.6% from 5.1%. The Fed also increased the fund rate expectations to 4.6% in 2024 and 3.4% for 2025, as well as increasing its GDP projection to 1% vs 0.4%, and unemployment at 4.1% vs 4.5%, clearing ending all concerns of a recession. Powell stated that the key indicator they were tracking was the PCE.
• Speaking of recession, despite technically entering into a recession, the ECB is expected to increase its policy rate today by 25bps.
