PSX Closing Bell: Red Takes the Lead

November 11, 2025 (MLN): The benchmark KSE-100 Index concluded Tuesday's trading session at 157,870.50, showing a decrease of 3,667.90 points or 2.27%.

The index traded in a range of 3,750.82 points showing an intraday high of 161,516.74 (-21.66) and a low of 157,765.92 (-3,772.48) points.

Markets reacted negatively to reports of a suicide bombing outside a district court in Islamabad, which claimed at least 12 lives and left several others injured.

The tragic incident raised fears of renewed instability and dampened investor confidence, leading to risk aversion across most sectors.

Additionally, uncertainty surrounding the 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill, presented in the National Assembly today, also contributed to the cautious mood.

While the bill marks a significant step in restructuring Pakistan’s constitutional and defense frameworks, investors adopted a wait-and-see approach amid speculation about its political and institutional implications.

The combination of security incidents, political developments, and structural transitions kept the market under pressure, with volumes thinning as participants preferred to stay on the sidelines.
