Analysts state that in global equity markets, despite uncertainties regarding the future policies of central banks, corporate earnings continuing to come in above expectations are reducing risk perception.

Domestically, analysts expressing that the first "Inflation Report" meeting of the new Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) Governor Fatih Karahan is awaited, say that the signals from the Inflation Report and Karahan's statements could increase volatility in the markets.

Analysts note that today, in addition to the Inflation Report domestically, weekly money and bank statistics will be monitored, while in international markets, weekly jobless claims and wholesale inventories data in the US will be followed, adding that technically, the 9,600 and 9,500 levels are support, and 9,700 and 9,800 points are resistance positions for the index contract.
