Broad gains led by industrial shares
Trading was broadly positive across the Istanbul Stock Exchange. Investing.com reported 452 advancing stocks, compared with 155 decliners, while 31 stocks finished unchanged. The same report identified metal products and machinery, insurance, and information technology as the strongest BIST 100-linked sector groups during the session.
According to CNBC-e, turnover reached 137.9 billion Turkish liras. The metal products and machinery sector gained 4.37%, the strongest sector result, while mining fell 2.36%. The banking index declined 0.70%, whereas the holding index rose 1.02%. The BIST 100 had reached 11,857.40 during the first half of trading before giving back part of its advance.
Inflation outlook remains a market factor
Turkey's central bank published its fourth and final Inflation Report for 2026 on Thursday. The Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye raised its year-end inflation forecast to 29.5% from 28%. The revision adds a macroeconomic risk point for investors assessing the sustainability of the recent equity rebound, even as Thursday's index advance was supported by broad participation.
For the next session, the immediate technical reference points cited by CNBC-e are resistance around 11,900 and 12,000, with support near 11,700 and 11,600. These levels provide market context rather than a directional forecast. Further index coverage is available on the BIST 100 topic page.
