The stock market finished the day with a decline, investors are unsettled.

As another tumultuous day in the financial markets comes to an end, Turkey's stock exchange, the BIST 100 index, experienced a significant decline. On Friday, selling from the critical support level tested at 11,000 caused a shake in investor confidence and negatively impacted stock prices.

Particularly, the banking sector stood out as the sector that suffered the largest losses during the day. The banking index declined by 2.77%, causing anxiety among investors. The negative trend in Borsa Istanbul is being attributed to the increasing uncertainties in international markets.

In global markets, with the upcoming discussions between the United States and China, attention has turned once again to these two superpowers ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision set for tomorrow. The approaching interest rate decision continues to be a critical factor in determining investors' market strategies. Expectations of rising interest rates have reduced risk appetite in the markets and caused investors to behave cautiously.

Among the day's gainers, the tourism sector was the one to bring smiles to investors. The tourism sector emerged as the biggest gainer with a notable increase of 2.37%. This situation is attributed to the positive developments brought by the summer season and the increase in travel demand.

As Borsa Istanbul experienced this tumultuous day, uncertainties and anxiety prevailed among investors, reminding once again that caution is necessary against market fluctuations. If uncertainties are resolved in the coming days, an improvement in the markets may be observed. However, investors are expected to continue watching closely.
