Wake – up call

BIST added 0.34% yesterday in the fourth consecutive day of gains along with the rebound in global peers. Index opened gap higher around the 93.2k mark and gradually climbed to 94.8k in late afternoon. But a correction in the last hour shed 2,700 points from the headline and erased bulk of its daily gains. Banking index was up 0.03% as the gains in YKBNK and GARAN were balanced out by the weakness in VAKBN and ISCTR. Aviation stocks, TUPRS, AYGAZ, ASELS, OTKAR, and ARCLK topped the non-financial gainers while ENJSA, TKFEN, ENKAI, MGROS, and SOKM were among the weakest names. Today, our local macro agenda is muted and traders will be eyeing global peers for a sense of direction. We accordingly anticipate a slight negative open for the BIST given some 1.7% overnight losses in U.S. indices from the hour we left while noting the 1% increase in S&P futures in early trades this morning. Lira is also a tad weaker with USDTRY parity at 6.7761 vs 6.7666 at yesterday's closing bell. Asian equities present a totally mixed picture.
