KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) ended Wednesday’s trading session in the red zone, with heavy selling causing significant losses for investors.
The KSE-100 Index dropped by 1,496 points, closing at 166,145, after touching a daily high of 168,160 and a low of 166,115 points. Market participants said the decline reflected investor caution amid volatile market conditions.
Out of 560 listed companies, 136 recorded gains, while 291 posted losses, highlighting a broad-based market downturn. A total of 59 million shares changed hands, with a turnover of PKR 44 billion.
Analysts noted that market sentiment remained fragile, with investors adopting a “wait and see” approach.

The PSX performance comes amid broader concerns over economic pressures, foreign investment trends, and currency fluctuations.
