Banks Pass Central Bank's Implicit Rate Cut to Loans

The news implies that banks are passing on the decline in funding costs to loan interest rates; this could stimulate loan demand and have a positive short-term impact on bank profitability. However, AKBNK's price at 72.1 is below the SMA20 (73.70) and close to the SMA50 (72.90); the RSI at 41.4 is weak, and the MACD is below the signal line in negative territory. The technical outlook does not signal a short-term recovery, and momentum is downward. The impact of the news may be limited; if it sustains above 72.90, the likelihood of an upward attempt increases, otherwise the 71.50-72.00 support may be tested. Therefore, I cautiously turn the direction upward but with low confidence.

The news indicates that banks are passing on the decline in funding costs to loan interest rates; this could stimulate loan demand and have a positive short-term impact on bank profitability. For GARAN, the last close was 133.4 TL with a 24-hour change of -0.67%, slightly negative, but the price is very close to the SMA50 (133.52) and is trading below the SMA20 (135.15). The RSI is at 45.4, in neutral territory, with no oversold signal; the MACD is negative and below the signal line, indicating weak short-term momentum. With the news, interest in banking stocks may increase and GARAN could test the 133.5-135.0 resistance; however, since technical indicators have not yet given a clear reversal signal, the upside may be limited. Nevertheless, as the news flow is positive, a slight upward trend can be expected in the short term.

The news suggests that banks reflecting the implicit improvement in funding costs to loan rates could support profitability margins; this is a mildly positive catalyst for ISCTR. However, with the price at 13.74 below the SMA20 (14.10) and a 24-hour change of -1.29%, short-term momentum is weak. RSI at 48.6 is in neutral territory, while MACD is below the signal line (0.051 < 0.141), indicating a negative trend; thus, the technical outlook may limit the positive impact of the news. SMA50 (13.50) should be watched as immediate support; without a close above 14.10, the uptrend may not be sustained. Therefore, for 1-3 days, I foresee a moderately upward but low-confidence scenario.

The news indicates that banks are passing on the decline in funding costs to loan interest rates; this could stimulate loan demand and have a positive short-term impact on bank profitability. However, HALKB stock is currently at 50.05, below its 20-day moving average (50.58), with RSI at 47.8 in neutral territory and MACD below the signal line. Technical indicators suggest weak momentum, and the news impact may be limited. A slight upward reaction is possible in the short term, but additional confirmation is needed for a strong trend reversal. Therefore, I anticipate a moderate upward bias.
