This represents a 0.36% loss at the opening.
The index, which completed the previous trading day with a 0.92% increase at 14,061.71 points, came under the influence of selling pressure in global markets as the new day began.
Sectoral Movements and Losses A negative outlook prevailed across sector indices at the opening.

While the sharpest decline among sectors was seen in holding shares, the tourism index diverged positively with an 0.84% increase.
Global Markets and Geopolitical Developments Factors weighing on risk appetite in global markets include U.S.
President Donald Trump’s aggressive stance on customs tariffs and growing concerns regarding the artificial intelligence sector.
Investors' cautious stance strengthened as the tariff agenda regained prominence in the U.S.
On the geopolitical front, the conclusion of indirect talks between the U.S.
and Iran in Oman is being closely monitored.
Although messages from Iran stating that it is not seeking nuclear weapons have somewhat reduced fears of military intervention, the ongoing tension between the two countries remains a factor increasing market volatility.
Market Data Agenda Analysts indicate that domestic data to be watched today includes the household expectation survey, sectoral inflation expectations, and data from non-financial sector firms.
Abroad, the U.S.
house price index and statements from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey and European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde will be the focus of markets.
