Competition investigation in the hazelnut sector: Number of companies under review rises to 7

The Competition Board has launched an investigation on suspicion that companies operating in the hazelnut sector may have violated competition by jointly setting prices. The number of companies under review within the scope of the investigation has risen to 7. Ferrero is among the companies. The review focuses on the companies' hazelnut purchasing policies. The Competition Board will also investigate whether Ferrero complies with the commitments it previously made regarding price and purchase volume. The investigation is important for the protection of competitive conditions in the hazelnut market. The Board's review aims to assess the compliance of purchasing strategies in the sector with competition law. At the end of the process, a decision will be made on whether the companies committed a competition violation. Ferrero's compliance with its commitments will also be taken into account in this assessment. This is not investment advice.

📊 AFYON — Piyasa Yorumu

■ neutral · 35%

The news announces a competition investigation into the hazelnut sector, which is AFYON's direct area of activity; however, the headline does not make clear whether AFYON is among the companies within the scope of the investigation. In the technical view, the price is trading above the SMA20 and significantly above the SMA50, the RSI at 59 is in the neutral-positive zone, but the MACD is slightly below the signal line and the daily change is negative. The investigation's creation of uncertainty across the sector may increase news-driven volatility in the short term. I assess the impact as neutral until it is clarified whether AFYON is directly a party; if it is confirmed to be within the scope of the investigation, downward pressure may increase.
