When the statements made by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials since last week in a "hawkish" tone are supported by the announced data, the probability that the bank will increase interest rates by 75 basis points in this month's meeting in the stock market pricing has increased to 74 percent.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester stated in a statement yesterday that the bank should raise the interest rate above 4 percent and keep it there for a while to bring inflation to the target level, while private sector employment in the USA recorded the lowest increase in nearly a year with 132,000 in August.
While it is expected that the picture on the development of the sector will be completed with the weekly unemployment applications to be announced in the USA today and the non-farm employment report tomorrow, it is expected that the expectations for the Fed's move this month will also become clear.
With these developments, the sales-weighted trend that had dominated the New York stock market since the beginning of the week continued yesterday as well.

While the rapid rise in energy prices and the increasing inflationary pressures in parallel with this remain the focus of the agenda on the European side, recession concerns for the regional economies are also increasing. According to the data released yesterday, while the inflation in the Euro Area reached its historical peak with an annual 9.1 percent in August, it is considered certain that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise interest rates by 75 basis points at its next meeting in the face of increasing inflation pressures.

While Asian stock markets started the new day with sellers, Nikkei 225 index in Japan decreased by 1.6 percent, Kospi index in South Korea by 1.7 percent and Shanghai composite index in China decreased by 0.04 percent near the close.

On the other hand, the international credit rating agency Moody's raised its 2022 growth forecast for the Turkish economy from 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent.
Analysts said that the global risk appetite is low due to the expectations that the central banks will continue to increase the aggressive interest rates, the recession concerns in Europe and the concerns that the slowdown in the Chinese economy will continue.
Analysts said that the intense data agenda, especially the manufacturing industry PMI to be announced around the world, will be followed, and noted that the course of rising bond yields should be closely monitored.
