Investors Are Focused on Important Data

Investors are eagerly awaiting critical economic data that will be released this week. Last week, there was intense selling pressure, particularly in technology stocks; however, some recovery was observed in certain stocks on Friday. This situation has further heightened investors' attention.

Important Economic Data Will Affect the Markets

Analysts emphasize that the non-farm payroll data for January, to be announced on Wednesday, and the January inflation data to be released on Friday, could be decisive for the direction of the markets. It is believed that these data may provide important clues regarding the Federal Reserve (Fed) and future monetary policies.

Effects on Technology Stocks

While interest in technology stocks has decreased over the past week, the upcoming days pose uncertainty for investors. In this context, it is emphasized that investors should be cautious when making personal and strategic decisions.
