The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) came under pressure as concerns over the escalating Middle East conflict weighed on investor sentiment.
The benchmark KSE-100 Index shed 347 points during the trading session, with profit-taking particularly affecting banking and fertiliser stocks.
Investors remained cautious amid uncertainty surrounding regional developments, with heightened geopolitical tensions raising concerns about their potential impact on Pakistan’s economy and financial markets.
The decline reflected broader risk aversion among investors as market participants monitored developments in the Middle East and assessed their possible economic consequences.
