Oct 15, 2020 (MNL): The KSE-100 Index concluded the session on a flat note by losing only 75.79 points on Thursday and closed at 40,068.50-mark.

The stock market opened positive and maintained the momentum of the rally seen in the late hours of the previous day. It went up more than 380 points in intraday trading as investors cherished the news that G-20 has extended debt relief for developing countries by another six months, said Aba Ali Habib Securities.

However, it failed to sustain gains in late hours as investors sentiments were impacted by selling pressure in global equities along with the concerns over FATF review.
