FITCH NEWS TRIGGERS BUYING APPETITE
" The BIST pared its losses on Friday, due to the escalation of violence after Israel launched a strike on Iran, on the back of media reports that Fitch Rating would host a panel discussion to discuss its recent upgrade of Türkiye's sovereign rating and the subsequent implications on the Turkish corporate, bank, non-bank financial institution, and international public finance sectors on Wednesday, April 24th, which triggered a buying frenzy, helping the BIST100 close 1.77% higher at 9694, and with a turnover of TRY 109.5bn, thanks to the 5.08% gains in the Banking stocks.
" The first 3 spots at the BIST30 were thus taken by AKBNK-GARAN and ISCTR, followed by SAHOL, whereas ALARK closed limit down due its poor financial release, and EKGYO saw a loss of 9.90%-thus the only 2 to close in the red on Friday.
