While the risk appetite in global markets decreases due to concerns that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may turn into violent conflicts again, a positive trend is observed in the country, led by banking stocks, with Halkbank’s announcement that the lawsuit filed against the bank will be completely ended with the approval of the US court.

On the other hand, the CBRT’s interest rate decision will be followed domestically.
Economists participating in AA Finans’ expectation survey expect the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) to keep the policy rate constant at 37 percent in June.
Analysts stated that the CBRT’s interest rate decision as well as weekly money and bank statistics will be followed in the country today, while the ECB interest rate decision, ECB President Lagarde’s press conference, weekly unemployment benefit applications in the USA and Producer Price Index (PPI) data will be followed abroad, and noted that technically, 13,900 and 14,000 points in the BIST 100 index are resistance and 13,600 and 13,500 points are support.
