"Turkish markets extend rally after Federal Reserve's 75 bps rate cut

Yesterday's rate cut lowered the federal funds rate to 2.25 percent. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) was divided, voting 8-2 in favor of the rate cut and issuing a statement that highlighted inflation risks. Still, many analysts said the Fed left the door open to further cuts if needed."
