We have left a volatile week behind with Fed statements out of the way, natural gas/electricity reductions for industries at much lower levels and going back to normal, while Ukraine-Russia tensions are at more reasonable levels.
We are off to a more positive week for equities with Q4 reporting getting into full swing. Banks start reporting with Akbank on 1st, Garanti on 2nd , YKB on 3rd, while other large-cap banks are reporting next week. Banks, Eregli & Kardemir (increasing domestic HRC prices 6 spreads) and Sise (due to last week’s underperformance from natural gas/power related bad newsflow) should be the names to watch this week.
