Iran Denies US Agreement Claims; Political Crisis in Turkey Affects Markets

Iran has rejected allegations that a deal to end the war with the United States has been signed recently. While U.S. officials indicated that a settlement could be reached in the near future, the spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, stated, "Although we have reached a common view on many issues, the claim that a deal is about to be signed is incorrect." In Turkey, following the court’s decision to remove CHP leader Ozgur Ozel from the party’s chairmanship, police entered the party’s headquarters. This development is viewed as part of the political crisis that deepened the market decline a week earlier. In the technology sector, Huawei announced that it has achieved a breakthrough in advanced semiconductor manufacturing without using high‑end equipment. The company’s success could potentially narrow the gap with industry leader TSMC. These events have led to an increase in risk premiums and heightened volatility in the markets. Investors should consider that geopolitical uncertainties and competition within the technology sector will continue to shape market dynamics. This is not investment advice.
