Feb-26 Market Recap
Overview
Introducing the first edition of the market recap from the Sabancı University Investment Society (SUINS). February’s data suggests the "soft landing" narrative is premature as macro stressors re-emerge.
Key Takeaways: * US Equities: The Nasdaq-100 fell 3.38% as AI capex fatigue hit mega-cap technology.
* Türkiye: USD/TRY ended near 43.89 following a smaller-than-expected 100 bps CBRT rate cut. 🇹🇷
* Energy & Geopolitics: Tensions involving Iran drove energy prices higher, favoring Energy (+2.6%) and Financials (+2.6%) over growth.
* Digital Assets: Speculative AI-linked tokens saw steep drawdowns as capital rotated to Layer 1 ecosystems like Solana.
Our Read: Until energy volatility subsides and inflation pressure fades, rate-sensitive growth remains fragile. Rational positioning favors value with pricing power and inflation resilience.
