Turkish equities tumbled on Wednesday after asset manager Pusula Portfoy said
some of its investment and money-market funds could not meet redemption
requests, intensifying liquidity concerns in the fund sector. Borsa Istanbul 100
slid as much as 5.7% intraday, extending a two-day loss to 6.9% and threatening
its largest one-day drop since March 2025 before narrowing to about a 3%
decline. Data provider Fintables reported net redemptions of 55 bln lira (~$1.13
bln) from Turkish investment funds on Wednesday. Economist Banu Kivci Tokali
warned that rising concerns over fund collateral quality and liquidity raise
contagion risk and that weakening confidence has fueled the selloff.
