Volatile Session Ends in the Red
The index opened at 11,758.85 points, up 0.39% from the previous close, but later surrendered those gains. CNBC-e reported that selling pressure pushed the index down into the 11,690-11,700 range during the second half of the session before buying interest helped it recover to 11,722.64 at 15:07. The recovery did not hold through the close.
Sector Performance Diverges
Trading was uneven across sectors. According to Anadolu Agency, the communications index gained 5.31%, making it the strongest sector performer. The information technology index fell 3.94%, the largest sector decline. The banking index slipped 0.03%, while the holding index lost 1.38%.
The session generated total trading volume of 141.9 billion Turkish lira. The contrasting sector performance shows that the benchmark's decline was not uniform across the market: communications shares provided support, while technology and holding stocks weighed on the broader index.
Global Rate Expectations in Focus
Anadolu Agency reported that global markets were mixed after US October inflation exceeded expectations. Consumer prices rose 0.4% month over month, compared with a 0.3% forecast, while core inflation increased 0.3%, above the 0.2% expectation. The report said the data strengthened expectations of a Federal Reserve rate increase in December, while higher bond yields and a stronger dollar pressured risk appetite.
