Global markets focus on Christine Lagarde's statements

While the global markets started the day with a sluggish start with the regulatory steps in China, increasing inflationary pressures around the world and the negative news flow regarding the new type of coronavirus (Kovid-19) epidemic, the eyes were turned to the speech of the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde today.

Global markets focus on Christine Lagarde's statements

While rising energy prices around the world have brought inflationary pressures back to the focus of the agenda, natural gas prices play a leading role in this trend. While natural gas futures rose to historical highs in Europe, the UK and the USA yesterday, the rise in Europe exceeded 20 percent.

China's regulatory steps and the process of Evergrande Group, one of China's largest housing development companies, are among the developments that make investors nervous.

However, as the delta variant continues to spread in the Kovid-19 epidemic, yesterday, Pfizer officials stated that the vaccine loses its effectiveness over time and that additional doses would be beneficial.

Although the New York Fed manufacturing index, announced yesterday in the USA, increased from 18.3 to 34.3, the index futures contracts started the new day with sellers, although the New York stock market followed a buying trend. Yesterday, the S&P 500 index gained 0.85 percent, the Dow Jones index rose 0.68 percent and the Nasdaq index gained 0.82 percent.

In European stock markets, the speech that ECB President Lagarde will make today is in the focus of investors.

Analysts noted that Lagarde is expected to give verbal guidance regarding the decisions taken at the ECB's last monetary policy meeting in his speech, which is expected to be delivered at 15.00. While there was no change in the asset purchase size at the last meeting of the ECB, it was noted that the pace could be slowed.

On the other hand, rising energy prices in the region and inflation, which continues its upward trend, continue to affect the share markets negatively.

Yesterday, the DAX index in Germany fell by 0.68 percent, the FTSE 100 index in the UK by 0.25 percent, the CAC 40 index in France by 1.04 percent and the MIB 30 index in Italy by 1.65 percent. European stock markets started the new day with a mixed movement in futures transactions.

Euro/dollar parity is trading at 1.1807, 0.1 percent below the previous close, after starting the day with sellers.

While Asian stock markets started the day with a sales-oriented course, the regulatory steps in the Macau region of China and the freezing of bond purchases for a while for debt restructuring of Evergrande, which has a known debt of 300 billion dollars, stand out as factors that reduce the risk appetite.

According to the data released today, the foreign trade balance in Japan posted a deficit of 635 billion yen in August, above expectations.

With these developments, Shanghai composite index decreased by 1.10 percent in China, Nikei 225 index decreased by 0.68 percent in Japan, Hang Seng index decreased by 1.83 percent in Hong Kong and Kospi index decreased by 0.64 percent in South Korea. .

While the housing price index and weekly money and bank statistics are on the domestic data agenda, the BIST 100 index in Borsa Istanbul, which followed a sales-weighted course in line with the global stock markets, carried the downward trend for the fourth consecutive day, and the previous day's closing was 0%. He finished with a score of 1,423.97 under 73.

Dollar/TL, on the other hand, is trading at 8.4380 at the opening of the interbank market today, after falling to 8.4353 with a 0.1 percent depreciation yesterday.

Analysts stated that foreign trade balance and ECB President Lagarde's speech in the Euro Zone, retail sales and Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index data in the USA will be followed today. He said he was in position.

The data to be followed in the markets today are as follows:

12.00 Eurozone, foreign trade balance in July

14.30 Turkey, July house price index

14.30 Turkey, weekly money and bank statistics

15.30 US, August retail sales

15.30 US, September Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index
