Borsa İstanbul Ends Flat After Interest Rate Decision and Halkbank Statement

The BIST 100 index in Borsa İstanbul rose during the day following the Central Bank of Turkey's interest rate decision and Halkbank's statement regarding the lawsuit, but ended the day flat due to selling pressure towards the close.

The index reached 13,889.62 during the day. The selling pressure after the rise prevented a clear direction at the close.

Interest Rate Decision Influenced the Market
