Aylin Güneş Note: The sector-driven divergence in markets signals renewed opportunities for long-term investors prioritizing dividend yield champions and buyback strategies. Mining and energy sectors, in particular, offer compelling narratives. However, the index's weekly underperformance highlights the critical need for strategic diversification in volatile environments.
