Borsa Istanbul's BIST 100 Index Closes First Half Above 14,000 Points

This represents an increase of 143.15 points compared to the previous close, reflecting a positive outlook supported by widespread buying across the market.
The banking index led the gains with a 2.25% increase, while the holding index experienced a limited decline of 0.17%.
Among sectoral indices, the financial leasing and factoring sector recorded the highest return at 7.24%.
Conversely, the holding and investment trust sectors were the biggest losers of the session.
The total trading volume was recorded at 93.5 billion lira.
Global Markets and Data Agenda Global markets are currently following a mixed course, influenced by legal decisions regarding U.S.
customs tariffs and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
While the U.S.
Supreme Court's ruling that certain tariffs were unlawful and the potential for rising tensions between the U.S.
and Iran have weighed on risk appetite, the BIST 100 index managed to diverge positively from international markets.
Analysts noted that market attention for the remainder of the day will focus on durable goods orders and factory orders data coming from the United States.
Technical Levels and Expectations From a technical perspective, the 14,200 and 14,300 levels are being monitored as resistance points for the BIST 100 index.
In the event of a pullback, the 14,000 and 13,900 point levels stand out as support zones.
Investors are expected to continue monitoring global data flows and geopolitical developments.
