KARACHI (Dunya News) -The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed significant volatility on Thursday before the benchmark KSE-100 index closed in positive territory.
At the start of the trading session, the market showed a bearish trend, falling by more than 700 points and bringing the index down to 168,712 points. However, buying activity during the day helped the market recover losses.
By the end of the session, the KSE-100 index had gained 276 points, closing at 169,703 points, indicating a mild recovery after early pressure.
The previous trading session had closed at 170,330 points, reflecting a slight overall decline compared to the previous day’s close despite intraday gains.
Market analysts attributed the volatility to cautious investor sentiment and profit-taking, though selective buying in key sectors supported the late recovery.
The session highlighted ongoing fluctuations in the stock market as investors reacted to broader economic indicators and policy developments.
Despite early losses, the closing in the green zone suggested continued resilience in market sentiment, particularly in blue-chip stocks that helped stabilise the index toward the end of trading.
