Early in the session, the PSX-100 Index surged, briefly crossing the significant 134,000-point psychological barrier and reaching an impressive high of 134,200 points. This upward momentum, however, was met with profit-taking, causing the index to retreat and touch an intraday low of 132,696 points.
By the close of trading, the PSX-100 Index had rebounded, ultimately settling with a gain of 33 points, ending the day at 133,403 points. This marginal increase follows Monday’s close of 133,370 points, suggesting a market that is consolidating after recent movements.
