Overview
- Trading turned sharply negative after an early rebound, with the KSE-100 falling about 814 points on Tuesday to 165,151.64 following renewed selling pressure across sectors.
- Monday’s session erased an intra-day recovery when broad-based selling pushed the index down roughly 454 points to 165,966.09, setting a fragile tone that carried into Tuesday.
- Turnover in shares traded fell versus the prior session while the value of trades rose to about Rs19.6 billion, showing less participation but larger money flowing through fewer deals.
- The National Clearing Company reported net foreign selling of Rs254.1 million, and analysts say continued outflows will keep liquidity tight unless buyers return.
- Pakistan’s dependence on imported oil makes the market sensitive to Brent crude moves, so rising oil prices and Gulf security incidents are key risks to watch along with upcoming corporate earnings.
