ANKARA (AA) - Türkiye’s benchmark stock index ended Monday at a new record high of 3,977.51 points, up 1.09%, or 42.89 points, from the previous close.
During the afternoon session, BIST 100 exceeded 4,000 points for the first time.
Investors' demand for Turkish stocks increased with equity seen as a hedge against surging consumer prices.

The total market value of the BIST 100 was around 3.1 trillion Turkish liras ($170 billion) by market close, with a daily trading volume of 76.8 billion Turkish liras ($4.1 billion).
Oil prices fell on Monday as investors feared weak oil demand and a global economic downturn as a result of disappointing oil import data from China.
International benchmark Brent crude traded at $92.84 per barrel.
