Fatih Kılıç – Lead Data Scientist, Economic Indicators: “The opening dip in the BIST 100 reflects a mix of global risk premium concerns and domestic liquidity dynamics. A softer-than‑expected NFP and ISM reading could further cool appetite for risk assets. Technically, breaching the primary support could trigger a deeper correction. Investors should reassess positions, especially in finance and energy, and tighten stop‑loss orders accordingly.”
