Global market reaction to US inflation and geopolitics

Overview

Global financial markets continue to react to US macroeconomic data and geopolitical developments. US inflation trends, including a July Consumer Price Index rise of 0.1% monthly and 3.4% annually, have aligned with market expectations and reinforced views that inflation is slowing, which may reduce the likelihood of near-term Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.

In Turkey, Borsa İstanbul (BIST 100) opened the session positively following a strong rally, rising approximately 0.10% to reach 14,124.18 points. Meanwhile, Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye Governor Fatih Karahan updated inflation forecasts, raising the year-end 2026 projection to 28%, while anticipating a decline to 15% by the end of 2027 and 9% by the end of 2028.

In Europe, the FTSE MIB closed nearly flat as markets exercised caution due to falling oil prices and US producer price inflation data. Geopolitical uncertainty persists in the Middle East. While reports suggest the US and Iran may have reached an agreement to extend a 60-day ceasefire under the Islamabad Accord before its August 17 expiration, optimism is tempered by the absence of official statements regarding a permanent ceasefire.
