⚠️Why are the markets rising today?

• Trump and Iran Developments: U.S. President Trump’s messages about "significant progress" with Iran have somewhat softened the geopolitical risk perception in the markets. This situation especially supports the flow of capital seeking safe havens into risky assets (stocks, etc.).
• Technology and Artificial Intelligence Rally: Technology stocks on the U.S. stock exchanges are gaining momentum, particularly due to new collaborations in the artificial intelligence field (such as OpenAI and Criteo) and positive expectations from major tech companies (Samsung, AMD).
• Fed Expectations: The market is also pricing in signals regarding the Fed’s interest rate decision and the possibilities of rate hikes or cuts. Despite mixed signals from the Fed under Warsh’s leadership, the growth story focused on technology remains dominant.
Domestic (Istanbul Stock Exchange)
• Strong Balances: The expectation-beating net profit announcements from giants like İş Bankası, Ford Otosan, and Tofaş in Borsa Istanbul (BIST 100) have been one of the main drivers pushing the index higher.
• Foreign Investment Inflows: News of over $20 billion in investments into Turkey and improving producer price index (Yİ-ÜFE) data are boosting domestic investors’ appetite.
• Technical Outlook: The stock market started the day with buying interest and, especially with the test of the 14,500 level, entered a record-breaking mode.
