Aylin Güneş – Corporate Portfolio Management Insight: The modest rise in BIST 100 is underpinned by liquidity flowing through active brokerages. The strength in the chemicals‑oil‑plastics sector, coupled with dividend and buyback initiatives, creates an appealing entry point for long‑term value investors. Meanwhile, the positive close in VİOP signals that buyers remain engaged despite short‑term volatility, justifying a cautious but opportunistic stance.
