Stocks rise on selective buying as investor focus remains
After Tuesday’s sharp decline, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) saw a mild recovery on Wednesday. The KSE-100 gained 313.44 points, or 0.20%, to close at 158,183.95. The benchmark traded between an intraday high of 159,516.41 and a low of 157,203.55 as investors remained cautious amid continued political and security developments. Although the market managed to recover some lost ground, overall confidence remained fragile. Trading was largely driven by selective buying, with participants reluctant to take aggressive positions until there is greater stability in the evolving domestic political landscape and security developments that continue to influence market direction.
