Karachi, November 6, 2025 – The benchmark KSE-100 Index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed another dull trading session on Thursday, losing 481 points amid persistent lackluster activity and investor caution.
The index closed at 159,097 points, down from the previous day’s 159,578 points, marking a 0.30% decline. According to a report by Topline Securities Limited, market sentiment remained subdued as investors awaited fresh economic triggers and policy clarity. The absence of any major developments on the political or macroeconomic front kept most participants on the sidelines.
During the session, the benchmark index fluctuated between an intraday high of 1,012 points and a low of 1,325 points before settling in the red. Analysts noted that investors preferred to book profits in select blue-chip stocks after recent gains.
Major draggers included UBL, MEBL, OGDC, MLCF, and ENGROH, which collectively shaved off 285 points from the index. On the other hand, PSEL, COLG, HUBC, AKBL, and PTC provided limited support, adding around 236 points.
Despite the negative close, trading activity remained robust with total volumes reaching 956 million shares and a turnover of Rs. 30.4 billion. BML emerged as the volume leader, recording 93 million shares.
Market experts believe the index is likely to stay range-bound in the near term unless significant economic or policy cues emerge to boost investor confidence and trigger fresh buying interest across sectors.
