KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a volatile trading session on Wednesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 index fluctuating between gains and losses before closing slightly higher.
At the start of trading, strong bullish momentum pushed the index up by more than 900 points, taking it to an intraday high of 181,357 points. However, selling pressure later in the session erased early gains as the index slipped into the red zone.
During intraday trading, the benchmark fell below the 180,000-point level, dropping to 179,564 points at its lowest level of the day.
Despite the mid-session decline, the market recovered toward the close and returned to positive territory. The KSE-100 index eventually closed at 180,511 points, registering an increase of 118 points compared to the previous session’s close of 180,392 points.
The mixed performance reflected cautious investor sentiment, with buying activity in early trade offset by profit-taking later in the day.
