Global markets had a mixed start to the new day. US stock markets closed above 1 percent yesterday due to the optimistic atmosphere regarding the easing of coronavirus measures and the normalization of the economy. US futures are following a directionless trend as of this morning. Asian stock markets are having a predominantly buyer-filled day with the support of the rises in the USA.
Dollar/TL started the day at 6.77 level
The dollar/TL exchange rate, which had a calm start to the week, continues its course between 6.76-6.78 this morning. As of 10:15, dollar/TL changes hands at 6.7870 and euro/TL at 7.6470.
Borsa Istanbul started the day with a 0.28 percent increase with 109 thousand 945 points. However, with the sales following the opening, the index turned negative and fell to 109 thousand 500 levels.
Expectations of rapid recovery in demand support oil prices
The continued easing of coronavirus measures around the world raises hopes for a rapid recovery in demand, supporting oil prices in international markets. However, the continued excess supply in the market limits the upward movement in prices.
On ICE, Brent oil is currently trading at $40.93/barrel, up 13 cents compared to yesterday. West Texas oil is at $38.39/barrel, up 22 cents at NYMEX.
All eyes in the markets will be on the API oil stock data to be announced today in the USA.
