XU100, Profit Taking Takes Investors to USD

BIST:XU100   BIST 100 Index
The rhetoric in XU100 is irrespective of valuations in the last week or so.

Turkish investors have been taking profits and allocating towards USD. This is totally a psychological issue, locals see the USDTRL as an actual investment vehicle, rather than a currency pair. This week the USDTRL pair saw lows of 5.50, this insinuated a sell signal for stock (along with some savings accounts).

Currently, locals prefer a long USDTRL position over holding common stock.

Hence there could be a downtrend in XU100 in th short-term due to this phenomenon.
