Market Watch - Thursday, January 9, 2025

Outlook:

The BIST100 Index started Wednesday flat, attempted to rise during the day, yet closed at 9,890.76 down 0.81%. The Industrial Index fell 1.09% and the Banking Index lost 0.97%. Profit selling continues at the BIST, having started with the realization of interest rate cut expectations. While momentum weakens in the short term, selling pressure is observed in resistance areas. However, we continue to think that sales will remain limited amid expectations that interest rate cuts will continue. Therefore, possible sharp withdrawals will be considered as buying opportunities. On the global front, while decreasing interest rate cut expectations continue to negatively affect risk appetite, the U.S. and European stock markets closed midweek with a mixed outlook. This morning, Asian stock markets followed a mixed trend, while the U.S. futures followed a negative trend and German DAX followed a positive one. We expect the markets to continue navigating by forthcoming data. Today, stock markets in the USA will be closed as part of the national day of mourning for the 39th president, Jimmy Carter. The VIOP30 Index completed the evening session up 0.15%. Locally, we expect the Benchmark index to start Thursday with reaction purchases and continue its fluctuating course thereafter. SUPPORT: 9,750 - 9,650 RESISTANCE: 9,950 - 10,150.
