Foreign investors turn net sellers on Borsa Istanbul in June 15-19 week

Last week (June 15-19), foreign investors' transactions on Borsa Istanbul were net sales. According to data, foreigners made net sales of million dollars in the stock market during this period. This indicates a decrease in foreign investors' risk appetite. On a weekly basis, banking and holding stocks stood out among the sectors where foreign investors sold the most. Particularly, intense selling pressure was observed in large-scale bank stocks. In contrast, limited buying interest emerged in some industrial and technology stocks. Analysts assess that the foreign outflow is linked to uncertainties in global markets and domestic inflation concerns. Additionally, the general slowdown in portfolio flows to emerging markets is also cited as a factor. In the coming weeks, the path foreign investors will follow will be shaped by central bank monetary policy steps and global risk appetite. Market participants are closely monitoring interest rate decisions and exchange rate movements in particular. This is not investment advice.
