Despite the "hawkish" statements from Trump to the North Korea, global markets' risk appetite remains high.
The US markets managed to expand their gains on the Tuesday's closing. The increased U.S. 10-Year government bonds' rated supported the gains in the US stock markets.
Today, the primary focus of the global markets will be the FED's announcements. The financial markets don't expect to see any rate hikes, but they expect a "normalisation act" in the FED's balance sheet, which will be a "dovish" act. On the other hand, if FED passes this meeting the possibility of a rate hike on the December's meeting will increase. There is also little chance that FED can surprise the financial markets and go for a rate hike on this session as the central bank of Canada and the central bank of England, which gave a hint to increase the rates.
The Asian markets weren't optimistic as the US markets in the opening session. The movements of the investors are smooth, and they are avoiding any sharp change due to FED and "hawkish" statements of Trump.
Parallel to the Asian markets and expected continuation sales, a 0.10% negative/flat opening is expected in BIST 100. The Turkish market is under the sale pressure for two strict days. There isn't any main news flow to support the sales. However, there are cumulative news flows such as the military exercise in Northern Iraq, the North Korean tension, sudden increase of the dollar/TL, the tension between Germany and Turkey and BIST 100's movement under the moving averages.
