The BIST 100 index concluded the week of September 11, 2026, with a 3.25 percent increase, closing at 14,467.25 points. During this period, the index fluctuated between 14,000.94 and 14,673.07. Stock performances were highly divergent; Pasifik Teknoloji (PATEK) led gains with a 31.49 percent increase, while Odine Solutions Teknoloji (ODINE) saw the largest weekly loss at 40.89 percent.

On September 14, the index faced renewed downward pressure, closing down 1.60 percent at 14,235.83 points on a transaction volume of 155.7 billion lira. The technology index declined by 5.04 percent, and both banking and holding indices also experienced losses. Notably, Bank of America clients recorded significant net sales, with Aselsan being one of the most heavily sold stocks.

This volatility was driven by escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East. Tensions rose following reports that drones launched from Iraq damaged an east-west oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, prompting Riyadh to close the pipeline. Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have further heightened concerns over oil supply, pushing Brent crude prices above $107 per barrel. Additionally, a planned meeting in Oman between Iran and Arab nations regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz was postponed.

Market participants also remained focused on global concerns regarding artificial intelligence development and upcoming monetary policy decisions from the US Federal Reserve. In the United States, the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.03%, its highest level since July 2007, as investors anticipate a potential interest rate hike to combat inflation. European markets have also seen volatility, with the Italian-German bond spread approaching 90 basis points due to energy cost concerns and rising debt financing needs.
