■FX rates: Inflation pressure may further weaken the TRY, pushing USD/TRY and EUR/TRY higher in the short term.

■Bond market: Inflation‑risk premiums could lift the 10‑year Turkish sovereign yield toward 15%.

■Dark pool volumes: Smart money is likely to engage in liquidity hunting, steering prices amid heightened volatility.

Volkan Şen – High‑Frequency Trading and Market‑Depth Specialist: "The July PPI explosion is a watershed for both the real economy and financial markets. The outsized gains in mining and energy present short‑term speculative entry points, while the inflation‑driven interest‑rate outlook reshapes the risk‑reward calculus for smart money. HFT algorithms, by closely monitoring liquidity provision and dark‑pool flows, stand to convert this volatility into a stable profit corridor."
