PSX Closing Bell: Sticks & Stones

September 29, 2021 (MLN): The capital market opened on a positive note but soon succumbed to the selling pressure owing to the news pertaining to the bill moved in the US Senate to impose sanctions on the Afghan Talibans that could potentially extend to Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the surging oil prices in the international market and the government's tightening measures to combat the inflating import bill have smashed investors’ sentiments.

Resultantly, the benchmark KSE-100 lost 908.19 points at the end of the trading session to trade at 44,366.74.

“With today’s KSE-100 index closing, the index is so far down 6% in Sep 2021. If the trend continues tomorrow this will be the highest monthly fall after Mar 2020 where the index declined by 23% due to Covid,” Topline Securities said.
