Despite attacks by the PKK and DAESH, and the FETÖ-linked failed coup attempt on July 15, markets showed a minimal response to the Euphrates Shield military operation launched by Turkish military on Wednesday to clear the DAESH-held northern Syrian town of Jarablus in coordination with the U.S.-led anti-DAESH coalition.Investors are keeping a wary eye on events in northern Syria, but don't seem perturbed by Turkey's actions.Jarablus is located five kilometers (or three miles) from the Turkish-Syrian border.The visit to Turkey by U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden on Wednesday, and his statement of support for the operation had a positive effect on financial markets. Global interest rates continue to be low, together with the weakening expectation that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike is increasingly driving investment towards emerging markets. Turkey, one of few developing countries to preserve an "investible" credit rating for the last three years, is on the radar of foreign investors.Interest in Turkish assets to increaseAzimut Portfolio General Manager Murat Salar said that Turkey's cross-border operation in Syria demonstrates the country's power, and will have minimal effects on the economy. He added that the long-standing conflict in Syria can be resolved with Turkey playing an active role, and that this action could reduce the political risk and thus increase interest in Turkish assets.Investment climate not affected Kapital FX Research Expert Enver Erkan said the Euphrates Shield operation is coordinated with anti-DAESH coalition forces, and said that they do not think that the operation will have any negative effect on the economy and pricing of financial assets, or on the investment climate. He said that price limits not exceeding normal limits allows the continuation of the trend in a more positive direction.Foreign purchases to continue Integral Securities Research Director Tuncay Turşucu said that the operation seems to have a an initiallly negative effect on the market, although the BIST-100 index decline to 75,000 points is normal, and the exchange rate against the dollar is stabilizing. He added that it is important that the operation is being done in coordination with coalition forces. The past two weeks saw a purchasing trend by foreigners in Turkey, and if the operation continues, foreigners will continue to buy.
