FOCUS SHIFTS TO INTEREST RATE DECISION IN DOMESTIC MARKETS

Global markets are experiencing a mixed trend ahead of the release of growth data in the US. In domestic markets, the focus is on the interest rate decision of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). As the market continues to search for clues about the future steps of the Federal Reserve (Fed), the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data to be released today is expected to provide signals about the state of economic activity in the country. Analysts point out that Fed officials have continued to provide "cautious" guidance throughout the week, and after the release of the growth data, the focus of investors will shift to the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, which is considered as the inflation indicator by the Fed, to be announced tomorrow.
