It is known that economic trends have an impact on financial markets. However, the impact of this may vary across sectors. Based on this, this study examines the short- and long-term effects of the AFI economic outlook index and its components on the performance of selected sectors specifically for the period 2015:02 – 2025:01. The study, which applied the ARDL bound test approach, found that the economic outlook index affected the sectors examined at different levels. However, the findings obtained in both the short term and the long term show parallels. Therefore, it can be stated that the findings obtained in the short term continue to have an effect in the long term. The results clearly demonstrate that changes in the economic outlook have created meaningful and lasting effects on sectoral financial performance.
