Turkey's benchmark stock index hit an all-time high, climbing to 112,073.51 points during the morning session yesterday.

The banking index rose by 3.31 percent to 176,910 points.

The most-traded stocks on the BIST Karsan Otomotiv, Vestel Elektronik, Turkish Airlines (THY), ASELSAN and Turkcell. The surge in Vestel and Karsan shares were affected by news about the consortium that will produce the domestic car, as Vestel was named among the nominees ,while ASELSAN's latest report on nine-month sales said they increased 60 percent.
