1. Executive Summary and Market Overview
While geopolitical risks and energy shocks continue to impact global markets, the BIST 30 index is showing a cautious stance. It was observed in previous days that the index was in a "consolidation" phase and traded below the 17.103 resistance level. As of today, the index appears to be following a slight upward trend. A cash protection and safe-haven-focused approach still seems necessary.
Strong buy signals continue in highlighted stocks. Stocks like KCHOL, BIMAS, GUBRF, TRALT and PETKM continue to show strong buy signals. Portfolio recommendations suggest maintaining a high cash ratio and adopting a selective approach.
2. News and Macroeconomic Assessment
Geopolitical tensions, particularly the rising tension between Iran and Israel, continue to affect markets. Additionally, fluctuations in natural gas prices and global recession concerns are negatively impacting investor sentiment.
The provision of an additional $1.1 billion in resources to Halkbank and exports to the EU approaching $72 billion are factors positively affecting the external balance. However, inflation expectations (28.4%) and the minimum wage increase following the OVP announcement are seen as factors that could cause a loss of confidence.
