October 12, 2020 (MLN): The benchmark KSE-100 Index lost around 588 points on the first trading session of the week to settle at 40,209 points, i.e. down by 1.44% compared to the Friday’s close.
The bearish spell was backed by Asian Pacific Group (APG) report which stated that Pakistan’s progress largely remained unchanged, while APG kept Pakistan on enhanced follow-up list.
This dented investors’ sentiments as investors had high hopes that Pakistan would come out of the grey list, a closing note by Aba Ali Habib Securities stated.
This selling pressure was further aggravated by the rise in weekly SPI and Supreme Court notice to PM, especially during the last hours of trading, another report by Ismail Iqbal Securities cited.
Furthermore, Covid-19 cases are in rising trend posing potential threat of second wave, this also resulted in over-selling.
The Index traded in a range of 902.97 points or 2.21 percent of previous close, showing an intraday high of 41,052.03 and a low of 40,149.06.
