Turkey's BIST 100 finished the Friday, November 6, 2026, session at 11,482.60 points, advancing 1.32% from Thursday's close. The benchmark recovered from an initial decline and ended the week 149.33 points higher. Anadolu Agency reported the closing level and the session's opening value of 11,237.83 points.
Index reverses early weakness
The session began below the previous close, but the index moved higher as trading progressed. Thursday's comparison close was 11,333.27 points, following a 1.26% decline in the previous session. On Friday, the BIST 100 reached an intraday high of 11,500.78 points before finishing slightly below that level, according to Anadolu Agency.
The official Borsa Istanbul index page identifies the instrument as the XU100, a market-cap-weighted, non-capped price index denominated in Turkish lira. The reported close therefore refers to the BIST 100 price index rather than an ETF, futures contract, or foreign-currency variant.
Broad participation supports advance
Market breadth was positive. Investing.com said 426 stocks rose on Borsa Istanbul, compared with 183 that fell, while 30 ended unchanged. Within the BIST 100, metal products and machinery, tourism, and information technology were identified as the leading sectors.
Tofas Turk Otomobil Fabrikasi was the strongest named BIST 100 performer in the report, rising 9.12% to 243.00 Turkish lira. Astor Enerji gained 8.17% to 161.50 lira, and Ford Otomotiv Sanayi advanced 7.81% to 73.15 lira. At the weaker end, Sok Marketler fell 9.88% to 48.44 lira, while Zorlu Enerji and Turkiye Sigorta declined 6.34% and 5.10%, respectively.
Market context
Anadolu Agency put Friday's trading volume at 135 billion Turkish lira and the index's market value at about 11.3 trillion lira. Investing.com reported the US dollar/Turkish lira exchange rate at 50.16 and December gold futures lower during the session. These figures provide market context, but do not by themselves establish a single cause for the index move.
