Ata said, "The market's median expectation for a 100 basis point cut has initially been in our view. With inflation data exceeding expectations in September, the market expected it to remain stable here, and then we experienced a rapid decline down to 10,000 over the past two weeks. Then, we managed to hold on to 10,000, both psychologically and with our 200-day simple moving average crossing the 10,300 level. Looking at the market right now, I can say that the reaction we received to 10,000 on Monday has priced in a 100 to 150 basis point cut. I can also say that yesterday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the markets remained flat, lacking volume and remaining flat, a bit like we were waiting for these two critical days of Thursday and Friday."
