Foreign Investors Record Net Outflow of $856 Million from Turkish Stock Market

Foreign investors have significantly reduced their positions in the Turkish stock market. According to the latest data, foreign investors made a net sale of $856 million last week, marking one of the highest weekly outflows in recent times. Experts suggest that fluctuations in global risk appetite and a cautious stance toward emerging markets may be behind this outflow. In particular, uncertainties regarding the US Federal Reserve's interest rate policies are said to have accelerated the exit of foreign investors from high-yield markets like Turkey. The share of foreign investors in stocks traded on Borsa Istanbul has further declined with this outflow. The change in net positions of foreign investors since the beginning of the year is being closely monitored by market participants. Analysts emphasize that the short-term trend of foreign flows will depend on global liquidity conditions and geopolitical developments. This is not investment advice.
