The prison request for Nuri Aslan caused turbulence in Borsa Istanbul.

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Deputy Mayor Nuri Aslan is facing a demand for prison sentence of 6 months to 3 years under the charges of 'resisting to carry out duties'. This development has created significant concern among investors, leading to a notable decline in Borsa Istanbul.

Prior to the incident, at 15:55, the BIST 100 index was at 10,466.66 points, but it fell sharply to 10,343 points following the announcement of the prison demand for Nuri Aslan. This situation heightened investors' concerns about market uncertainties and triggered a general sell-off in stocks.

The fluctuations in Borsa Istanbul are connected not only to Nuri Aslan's personal situation but also to the impact of such developments on the market. Increasing pressure on government officials may negatively affect the psychology of domestic investors, while international market players have started to act cautiously due to political dynamics in Turkey.

Moreover, this situation has reignited discussions questioning the effects of the IMM's decisions and actions on the markets. The impact of economic uncertainties on investors can directly influence stock market performance; therefore, investors are closely monitoring developments.

This sharp market fluctuation could lead to broader effects in the economy. Investors are assessing how political developments like Nuri Aslan's situation might influence economic indicators and adjusting their positions accordingly. Otherwise, such sudden developments could disrupt market balance and negatively affect long-term investment strategies.
