Markets this week combined a modest rally in the BIST 100 with a flat FX backdrop, allowing investors to maintain a limited risk appetite. The pronounced drop in gold prices reflects a slight easing of global risk sentiment and local liquidity shifts. Positive fund flows, led by equity‑focused vehicles, suggest that the direction of the BIST 100 remains uncertain heading into the next trading session. The sideways movement in currency rates offers short‑term relief for exporters and importers, while market participants await clearer signals from monetary policy.
