ISTANBUL, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Here are news, reports and 
events that may affect Turkish financial markets on Wednesday. 
    The lira  TRYTOM=D3  stood at 3.0069 against the dollar at 
0608 GMT, little changed from 3.0078 late on Tuesday. 
    The main share index  .XU100  rose 1.8 percent to 71,809 
points on Tuesday. The benchmark 10-year government bond yield 
 tTR240724TA=IS  stood at 11.12 percent at the spot close on 
Tuesday and was at 11.11 percent in Wednesday-dated trade. 
                    
    GLOBAL MARKETS 
    Asian stocks struggled to hold early gains on Wednesday as 
several indicators screamed caution, and a relapse in oil prices 
made sentiment even more fragile ahead of a Federal Reserve 
policy statement due later. Technology giant Apple Inc's 
 AAPL.O  forecast of its first revenue drop in 13 years 
signalled a risk of diminishing corporate profitability and more 
downgrades.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL3N15A602 
     
    NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL 
    The National Security Council will convene, chaired by 
President Tayyip Erdogan (1200 GMT). Prime Minister Ahmet 
Davutoglu will hold a preliminary meeting at his offices 
beforehand (1100 GMT). 
     
    SYRIA PEACE TALKS 
    Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Turkey would boycott 
Syrian peace talks planned for this week if the Kurdish 
opposition Democratic Union Party (PYD) was invited as part of 
the negotiating team. PYD leader Saleh Muslim subsequently said 
he had not received an invitation to the U.N.-mediated talks in 
Geneva.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N15A13A 
     
    TURKEY-ISRAEL RELATIONS 
    Israel's defence minister said on Tuesday Islamic State 
militants had been funded with 'Turkish money', an assertion 
that could hinder attempts to mend fences between the two 
countries after years of estrangement.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N15A44U

    The petrochemicals company said the increase of its issued
