Summary
Turkish financial analyst Tunç Şatıroğlu delivers an extensive market commentary covering his investment philosophy and current market outlook across multiple asset classes. He begins by reflecting on his journey since starting financial commentary in 2018, sharing feedback from a long-time follower who praised his approach to calling markets early when assets are cheap, even though this often leads to criticism before assets eventually rise. Şatıroğlu explains his core investment philosophy: recommend buying when assets are undervalued, continue recommending even as they remain cheap, then become cautious as prices rise and eventually advise against buying when assets become overvalued. He cites examples like Turkish Airlines when it traded at 30% of book value during COVID, and his dollar calls during the Şahap Kavcıoğlu period. He announces he will no longer discuss specific TEFAS funds due to ongoing criticism about fund performance, instead suggesting investors create baskets of 3-5 funds meeting his criteria (US-focused, no BIST holdings, accessible to all investors). He provides technical analysis showing positive momentum in US markets, with the Dow Jones breaking above ichimoku clouds and expecting moves toward 50,000, while semiconductors have become too expensive after gaining 27% from recent lows. In crypto markets, he sees Bitcoin and Ethereum at critical levels requiring breaks above 77,000 and 2,420 respectively. He expresses caution about Turkish stocks despite technical buy signals, citing concerns about narrow market breadth and dependence on early interest rate cuts. On commodities, he advises waiting for better entry points in gold and silver despite recent strength, noting geopolitical developments could drive further gains but current levels aren't attractive for new positions.
