September 02, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan’s benchmark KSE-100 Index closed Wednesday’s trading session at 174,776.59, shedding 1,690.40 points or 0.96%, as broad-based selling in commercial banks, cement and oil & gas exploration stocks weighed heavily on market sentiment.

The index traded in a range of 1,278.96 points, hitting an intraday high of 175,841.83, down 625.16 points, while the low stood at 174,562.87, down 1,904.12 points.

The total volume of the KSE-100 Index stood at 261.56 million shares.

Volatility in oil prices further dampened investor risk appetite.
