Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) saw a volatile trading session on Tuesday, with early gains giving way to profit-taking by investors amid cautious sentiment in Asian markets. The KSE-100 Index climbed to 187,829.72 but later fell to 187,018.89 due to selling pressure across sectors like automobile assemblers and oil marketing companies.
By mid-morning, the benchmark index was down 235.24 points or 0.13%, trading at 187,219.45. Despite healthy market participation of 251.22 million shares valued at Rs18.90 billion, investor sentiment remained cautious with regional equity markets largely lower.
Market participants noted selective profit-taking after recent highs and a wait-and-watch approach as they await fresh domestic triggers to guide the market’s next move.
