The Pakistan Stock Exchange recovered from a shaky morning start on the first day of the trading week, pushing the benchmark KSE-100 index back into the green zone.
Trading opened on a negative note as early selling pressure forced the market down. The KSE-100 index dropped by 412 points right after the opening bell rang. It made investors nervous about the week ahead.
However buyers stepped in quickly to take advantage of the lower prices. This fresh buying wiped out all the morning losses and pulled the stock market firmly back into positive territory.
Key Market Numbers
The quick recovery helped the market reclaim a major psychological milestone before the closing session.
- Morning Fall: The index dropped 412 points right at the start.
- Total Recovery: The index rallied back, gaining 521 points from its lowest point.
- Final Standing: The KSE-100 index safely crossed the line to trade at 180,092 points.
Market analysts noted that crossing the 180,000-point limit again shows that investors still have strong confidence in local shares, especially after recent drops in international oil prices and stabilizing economic news.
