ECB Prepares to Raise Rates as Iran War Fuels Inflation Concerns

GOOGL stock declined 3.78% in 24 hours to 330.64, with RSI14 at 36.95 confirming weak momentum. MACD remains in negative territory and below the signal line, indicating continued downward pressure. The ECB's preparation to raise interest rates amid Iran-related inflation concerns could reduce global risk appetite and create additional selling pressure on technology stocks. The price is trading below SMA20 and SMA50, confirming a weak short-term trend. However, since the news is not directly related to GOOGL, the impact may be limited; the 1-3 day outlook is bearish, but high volatility risk exists.

The ECB's preparations to raise interest rates due to inflation concerns stemming from the Iran war could reduce global risk appetite and put pressure on stock markets. The expectation of a rate hike may accelerate capital outflows, particularly from emerging markets, and create additional downward pressure on the Turkish lira. However, the possibility that geopolitical risks could further increase inflation through energy prices might lead central banks to tighten more aggressively, increasing market volatility. In the short term, a downward trend and high volatility are expected in both global and Turkish markets.

The ECB's preparation for a rate hike is a positive factor for the EUR in the short term. However, inflation concerns stemming from the Iran war could suppress risk appetite and limit the EUR's gains. Technical indicators point to a sideways trend: the price is around SMA20 and SMA50, RSI at 54 is neutral, and MACD is very close to the signal line. Therefore, the impact of the news may be limited; a slight upward trend is possible within 1-3 days, but additional confirmation is needed for a strong breakout.

The ECB's preparation for a rate hike can be interpreted as an effort to control the impact of Iran-related geopolitical risks on inflation. This could create short-term upward pressure on energy prices. However, Brent's last close was 100.47, below its 20-day SMA (101.1), and the RSI is at 48.9 in neutral territory; the MACD is below its signal line. Technical indicators point to weak momentum and proximity to a resistance zone. The impact of the news may be limited; fluctuation between 100-102 is expected within 1-3 days.
