Markets are still concentrating liquidity around THYAO, AKBNK, and ASELS amid rising FX rates and gold prices. The sectoral tilt suggests banks and miners will find support while tech and communications stocks remain under pressure. Investors gravitating to foreign currency and gold as hedges may boost short‑term volatility, but the BIST 100 appears poised for a broader correction in the near term.
