Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
İZSİAD Chairman Alaattin Yüksel warned that truck queues at Turkey's Kapıkule, Hamzabeyli and İpsala border gates to Europe have reached a level that will harm the economy. He said the delays at the three crossings are imposing costs on exporters and disrupting trade flows. The backlog matters because road freight is a key channel for Turkish goods entering EU markets. What to watch next is whether authorities add capacity or streamline customs procedures at the gates to clear the queues.
