Kerem Tufan – Director of Commercial Loans & Central Bank Policies: "The BIST 100’s movement highlights market sensitivity to liquidity and sector‑specific risk perception. The banking sector’s contraction reflects tighter credit supply, while the holding sector’s outperformance points to a more resilient profile amid macro uncertainties. Short‑term participants will likely leverage this volatility, and the sustained volume surge will dictate the durability of the current price swings."
