Turkish Stocks Surge Repeatedly as Central Bank Fuels Rally with New Cash Injection Turkey's stock market is experiencing a sustained rally, marked by repeated single-day surges, as a new central bank policy directly funnels cheaper funding into local equities. The benchmark BIST 100 index, which tracks Turkey's top 100 companies, has posted a series of sharp gains. In one session, the index jumped 2.34%, a rise of approximately 316.4 points [71758]. The market opened another day with a powerful surge, gaining 99.1 points at the opening bell [110976]. The rally continued into a new trading year, with the BIST 100 leaping 2.1%, or 236.86 points, on its first session of 2026 [40181]. Analysts directly link the strong performance to a major policy shift by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). The bank announced it will provide cheaper financing to lenders who increase their purchases of domestic stocks, a move designed to directly support the equity market [80220]. Following this announcement, the BIST 100 closed with a strong increase of 32.6 points [80220]. The positive momentum has been consistent across multiple sessions. The index opened higher on a Tuesday, gaining 20.8 points [21230], and rose another 34.58 points at the Friday open [131327]. It also gained more than 55 points at the start of a Thursday session [8749] and added 26.64 points at a Wednesday open [33768]. The market closed one Tuesday up 143.73 points, a rise of more than 1% [128734]. Market observers view the BIST 100 as a key indicator of Turkey's financial health and economic sentiment [71758]. The current rally, fueled by targeted central bank action, indicates a period of renewed investor confidence in local assets [40181]. Analysts are now watching to see if this policy-driven positive trend will hold in the coming days and weeks [80220].
