🔶HOW DID THE MARKET START THE DAY ⚠️

📊 February 26, 2026 Market Summary
🔹Markets are mixed but Tech is holding steady!
🔹Asia closed in the green with Nvidia rally (Nikkei hit a record, Kospi +%2.3).
🔹Europe and US futures are slightly red but no panic.
🔹Tariff uncertainty + Trump’s statement “Big Tech should produce its own electricity” are weighing on the market.
Here are the details👇
1️⃣ Gold:
Spot at $5,203, intra-day -%0.44. Safe haven demand continues (tariff + Iran talks support). Staying firm above $5,200, short-term target remains at $5,250-5,300.
2️⃣ Silver:
Around $88.20, intra-day -%3. More volatile, industrial demand (AI/data center) supports it but profit-taking came today. The psychological $90 level may be tested soon.
3️⃣ Crypto:
BTC $67,876 (+%4.37) – strong rebound as short positions worth $500 million are liquidated!
ETH +%8-10 range, short squeeze continues.
Risk appetite has somewhat returned, dropping below $70k. Altcoins are also being watched.
4️⃣ US Stocks:
Yesterday, Nvidia rally pushed S&P to 6,946 (+%0.81), Nasdaq +%1.26, Dow +307 points.
Today, futures are slightly down but Nvidia’s $68 billion sales record boosts morale. AI fears have decreased, shifting from small-cap/value stocks to tech companies. The 7,000 resistance on the S&P is approaching.
5️⃣ Istanbul Stock Exchange:
BIST 100 at 13,707, intra-day -%0.74. A breather after the January rally led by defense + banking stocks. If the 13,800 resistance breaks, a quick move above 14,000 is possible. USD/TRY is calm, foreign inflows are observed.
🟡Conclusion:
In the short term, tariffs + geopolitical risks are present but catalysts like Nvidia keep tech afloat. Gold, silver, and BTC offer good opportunities with a mix of safe haven and risk appetite. Buying at the lows in BIST also looks attractive.
