Wave of profit-taking on the Istanbul Stock Exchange: Bank of America leads stock sales

The trading day of May 12, 2026, was characterized by active engagement from foreign financial institutions on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST). According to reports from Turkish economic channels, Bank of America stood out for executing significant stock sales throughout the day.

The channel Borsa Hisse Haber, which specializes in analyzing stock offerings and investments, noted that the American bank topped the list of major sellers on the local stock exchange in a post titled "Bank of America’nın Borsa İstanbul’da En Çok Satış Yaptığı Hisseler".

Simultaneously, the channel Borsa Haber 🔔 reported similarly on the activity, emphasizing that these were "Bank Of America’nın bugün en çok sattığı Hisseler". Both channels, which focus on real-time trading data, present the information as a dry fact derived from end-of-day exchange data, without detailing the specific composition of the stocks sold or the strategic motives behind the move.

The reports arrive on a day when there was high public interest in the trading data of foreign investors in Turkey, as such data is often used by local investors to assess future market trends and the sentiment of international institutions toward the Turkish economy.
