- The BIST 100 stood at 11,765.70 points, up 0.89% from the previous close.
- Hotter-than-expected US inflation and hawkish Federal Reserve signals remain key external risks.
- Investors are also watching Turkish retail-sales data, German inflation, an ECB speech and the MSCI review.
The BIST 100 was trading at 11,765.70 points during the European midday slot on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, according to Investing.com. That put the Turkish benchmark 103.83 points, or 0.89%, above its previous close of 11,661.86. The index had opened at 11,702.38, and the reported daily range was 11,621.72 to 11,820.47.
Index holds above previous close
The intraday advance followed a 0.43% decline in the previous Istanbul session. An opening report by Haberturk, citing Anadolu Agency, said the index began the day 0.35% higher. The same report identified 11,800 and 11,900 as resistance levels and 11,600 and 11,500 as support areas.
US inflation keeps rate risk in focus
External markets remained sensitive to the latest US inflation data. Garanti BBVA Securities wrote in its November 11 market recap that October consumer prices rose 0.4% month on month, while core prices increased 0.3%, both above expectations. The report said the data strengthened expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate increase and noted that a 50-basis-point move had also entered market discussions.
Garanti BBVA Securities also said the BIST 100 had advanced from 10,626 to 11,786 points in its recent recovery, but cautioned that a stronger uptrend would require a break above 11,800. It highlighted possible profit-taking and stock-specific divergence, with banking shares showing signs of fatigue while aviation stocks continued to display momentum.
Data and MSCI review ahead
For the domestic agenda, market participants were monitoring Turkish retail-sales data. Internationally, German inflation and a speech by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde were due for attention. The Garanti BBVA report also pointed to the MSCI quarterly index review, whose results were expected later in the day. These events could influence regional risk appetite and the direction of the BIST 100 as the Istanbul session progresses.
