PSX Drops Over 1,000 Points Amid Cautious Trading Post Rate Hike

Advertisement

Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Tuesday remained fragile amid bearish pressure due to central bank’s rate hike. The benchmark Index stood at 168,337.56, down 1,159.79 points (-0.68%). Market opened in negative territory and traded red throughout the morning session. Trading volumes reached 341,059,243 shares with a traded value of approximately 13.49 billion.

The ongoing sell-off is attributed to concerns over rising borrowing costs impacting corporate earnings and dampening economic activity. Interest-sensitive sectors led the decline as investors reassessed their positions in light of tighter monetary conditions. Market participants are closely monitoring further developments and institutional flows for session’s closing direction.
