Global Developments Shaping Local Sentiment

Diplomatic moves aimed at easing US‑Iran tensions kept markets in a mixed mood, with investors remaining cautious despite the softening geopolitical backdrop.

Technical Outlook for the Coming Days

Analysts expect a quiet domestic data calendar, while abroad the focus will be on US and German inflation, US weekly mortgage applications, and the US budget balance. Key support levels for the BIST 100 are set at 13,600 and 13,500, with resistance at 13,800 and 13,900.

Markets are pricing in short‑term relief from the US‑Iran tension, yet the sharp sell‑off in mining underscores a still‑fragile risk appetite. Technically, a breach below 13,600 could trigger further downside pressure, whereas holding above 13,800 may provide a foothold for a modest bounce.
