Pakistan Stock Exchange’s benchmark KSE100 index closed Wednesday's trading session with a decline of 375.17 points after what had started off as a promising trading session on the back of multiple positive developments overnight with news regarding renewal of GSP+ by EU for two years and a three month postponement on FATF.

However, corporate results inline or below expectations dampened the sentiment and the index started to decline. The index moved in a range of 787 points touching an intraday high of 43,624.07 (+329.12 or 0.76%) and an intraday low of 42,836.25 (-458.7 or -1.06%) before closing at 42,919.78

All Share Volume increased by 18.36 Million to 188.07 Million Shares. Market Cap decreased by Rs.49.14 Billion.
