While Sabah newspaper reported on the impact of protests in several European countries, notably France, on financial markets, covering 2% losses in stock exchanges and France's 4.86% bond yield, it did not address the fact that Turkey's BIST 100 index lost 21.15% in value over the last six months and its 10-year bond yield stood at 35.59%.

Sabah newspaper covered the reflections of protests in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Albania on financial markets, reporting 2% losses in European stock exchanges, a 1.34% drop in the Madrid Stock Exchange IBEX index, and the rise of France's 10-year government bond yield to 4.86%. In contrast, the report did not include the losses of the BIST 100 index on Borsa Istanbul, which fell by 21.15% in the last six months, 14.64% in the last month, and 5.41% in the last five days. Additionally, the information that Turkey's 10-year bond yield is at the level of 35.59% was not included in the scope of the news.
