Market PulseDow jumps nearly 200 points at the open as stock market extends Friday's job-fueled rallyU.S. stocks opened solidly higher Monday, following global markets that were trading in the green, as investors appeared to shift focus from worries of a full-scale trade war between China and the U.S. to signs of economic strength. Equity benchmarks across the globe have seesawed as investors reacted to developments on trade. On Friday, the U.S. imposed levies on $34 billion of China's exports.

The Capital Markets Board (SPK) said that until the end of August share purchases on the Borsa Istanbul by people party to the relevant company's internal information, or by those close to them, would not be subject to a stock market abuse directive. In a brief statement, it said it had decided such purchases would not be subject to an article of a 2014 directive regarding acts of market abuse. ADVERTISEMENTThe relevant article in the 2014 directive, published at the time in the country's Official Gazette, says "trading in capital market instruments by people party to issuers' internal information or by their spouses, children or people living in the same house is assessed to be an act of market abuse". No further details were given on the move and nobody from the Capital Markets Board was immediately available to comment.
