Lahore, Pakistan – Web Desk: The Pakistan Stock Exchange rebounded to close in positive territory on Tuesday after a volatile trading session marked by sharp early losses and late buying activity.
At the opening, bearish sentiment weighed heavily on the market, pushing the benchmark KSE-100 index down by more than 1,500 points to an intraday low of 149,129.
However, renewed investor confidence later in the session triggered a recovery, with the index gaining 465 points to settle at 151,673 by the close.
The previous session had ended on a strong note, with the benchmark index rising by 809 points to close at 151,207, reflecting continued investor interest despite market uncertainty.
Regional markets showed mixed performance amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Japan’s Nikkei 225 posted slight gains, while markets in China and Thailand also edged higher.
In contrast, Indonesia’s Jakarta Composite Index fell by nearly 1%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index also declined by around 1%. Malaysia’s FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI recorded a marginal drop.
Analysts said ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and global market volatility continue to influence investor sentiment, though selective buying helped support the local market recovery.
