Karachi, December 2, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) saw a brief pause in its rally on Tuesday, as the KSE-100 index slipped by 420 points, closing at 167,642 points from Monday’s 168,062 points.
Analysts at Topline Securities Limited noted that after a series of strong gains, the market experienced profit-taking, with investors locking in recent highs. This resulted in a volatile trading session marked by rapid shifts in sentiment.
During the day, the KSE-100 index hit an intraday high of 169,289 points (+1,227) and a low of 167,445 points (-616), reflecting a tug-of-war between opportunistic sellers and selective buyers. By the close, the index settled down 0.25% from the previous session.
Among top movers, LUCK, BWCL, MEBL, and FABL contributed a combined +389 points, while FFC, PPL, HUBC, SYS, and ENGRO weighed on the market, subtracting 569 points from the benchmark.
Market activity remained healthy, with total volumes reaching 772 million shares and a turnover of Rs37.4 billion. WTL led trading volumes, with 169 million shares exchanged during the session.
Despite the modest pullback, market analysts say the broader market outlook remains constructive, as investors anticipate upcoming catalysts that could drive momentum in the coming sessions. The brief correction is seen as a normal consolidation after a strong rally rather than a shift in market direction.
