The stock market extended losses on Tuesday, though a late rebound trimmed losses as value hunters stepped in after the previous session’s sharp sell-off, as higher government bond yields and policy uncertainty continued to weigh on sentiment, with fresh US tariff developments and escalating geopolitical risks adding to investor caution.
The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 Index settled at 166,258.54 points, down 1,432.54 points, or 0.85%, from the previous close of 167,691.08.
The index traded between a high of 169,237.51 (up 1,546.43 points, or 0.92%) and a low of 163,907.59 (down 3,783.49 points, or 2.26%).
