Pakistan’s benchmark KSE-100 index lost about 2,610 points during the week, falling 1.5% to finish around 168,155 as investors weighed the IMF review, geopolitical uncertainty and elevated oil prices.
The weekly decline followed a difficult September for equities. The benchmark lost about 7,006 points during the month, equivalent to 3.96%.
On Friday, the KSE-100 closed at 168,155.49, down 481.36 points or 0.29% for the session.
Market reporting cited uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s IMF review, geopolitical tensions and oil-price risks among the factors affecting sentiment during the week.
The weekly figures provide a broader picture than a single trading session: although individual days saw changing momentum, the benchmark ended the week below where it began.
