The results showed a negative correlation between the BIST-100 Index Return of Borsa Istanbul insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BIST); and volatility and exchange rate returns. Simultaneously there is a positive correlation between the BIST-100 Index Return and liquidity. Furthermore, it has been determined that the data movements in the examined period occurred within the framework of two different regimes.
