Aylin Güneş – The modest rise in BIST 100 reflects strength in technology and industrial sectors, while the dip in services and financials signals lingering macro uncertainties. For long‑term portfolios, focusing on companies with robust dividend yields and active share‑buyback programs can mitigate volatility and enhance return potential.
