A severe negative trend was observed at the Pakistan Stock Exchange as trading began. In the early hours of trading, the market faced pressure, with the 100 Index recording a decline of over 1,600 points

Following this drop, the 100 Index fell to the level of 113,200 points, which is considered a significant downturn in recent days.

Experts attribute this decline to the uncertain political and economic situation, as well as concerns over potential monetary policy measures.

Investor confidence has been shaken, leading to selling pressure across several key sectors, which has impacted the overall business environment.

Stock analysts suggest that unless a clear economic direction is established, further downturns in the market are likely.
