Uptick Rule Introduced for Short Selling on Borsa Istanbul

A new regulation regarding short selling transactions is being implemented on Borsa Istanbul. With the decision taken by the Capital Markets Board (CMB), the 'uptick rule' will be applied to short selling transactions. This rule permits short selling only when the stock price is higher than the previous trade price. The regulation aims to prevent excessive volatility and manipulative selling pressure in the markets. Officials state that this step will enhance investor confidence and contribute to market stability. Details of the implementation and the start date will be announced by the CMB in the coming days. Short selling involves investors selling stocks they do not own to profit from a price decline. The uptick rule limits such transactions, helping the market function more healthily. Similar practices are frequently activated in developed markets during crisis periods. This is not investment advice.
