The BIST 100 continued higher during Tuesday's intraday session, standing at 11,771.84 points, according to GCM Yatirim. That put the index 0.51% above its November 9 close of 11,712.67 points.
Communication Stocks Lead Sectors
The advance followed a 2.00% gain in the previous session. In GCM Yatirim's midday bulletin, communication stocks were the strongest-performing sector, followed by transportation and brokerage shares. Information technology, forestry and paper, and tourism stocks were among the weaker groups.
Turkish Airlines and Turkcell were identified as positive contributors to the index in the bulletin. The same source placed an intraday support area near 11,650 points and resistance near 11,940 points. These are market reference levels rather than forecasts of a particular closing value.
Global Cues and US Inflation in Focus
Market sentiment was also influenced by expectations that tensions between the United States and Iran could ease, while Brent crude had moved below 90 US dollars and technology shares recovered. Investors were awaiting US inflation data, which could affect expectations for the path of US interest rates and broader risk appetite.
Domestically, Turkey's statistical office reported that industrial production rose 2.6% year over year and 2.1% month over month in September, according to the same GCM Yatirim bulletin. The report said the monthly increase was led by manufacturing, while mining and utilities also recorded gains.
A separate report by Haberler, citing Anadolu Agency, had put the index at 11,764.15 points at 13:00 local time, up 0.44% from the previous close. It also reported gains in communication stocks and noted that market participants were monitoring the US inflation release.
