The ISE-100 declined 0.68% to 69,365 with a volume of TRY 2bn on Wednesday, trading between 70,355 (+0.74%) and 69,185 (- 0.94%). Although the index attempted to test the 70k-territory, domestic 5.000 70.458 72.000 70.101 69.839 politics reminded everyone that silence from the political front cannot be 69.226 69.365 taken for granted. The chief prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Appeals 4.000 70.000 issued a sharp warning to government institutions with regards to the use of the Islamic headscarf in universities, slightly triggering pessimistic 3.000 68.000 sentiments in the market. The index was already in the mood of rehearsing possible future corrections with recent hesitations, and the prosecutor’s 2.000 66.000 statement could act as a catalyst for the process. As domestic 3.104 2.715 1.000 2.563 64.000 2.373 developments caught investors’ attention, optimism returned to US markets 2.293 with encouraging 3Q10 financials, although Asia markets are reluctant to 0 62.000 follow suit this morning. Today, we expect an opening with a negative bias, but the index may eventually attempt to cross into 70k. Technically, 69,700 14-Oct 15-Oct 18-Oct 19-Oct 20-Oct and 70,100 are our respective resistance levels whilst 69,000 and 68,700 are the primary and secondary support levels.
