October 11, 2024 (MLN): Pakistan stocks continued to face selling pressure from foreign investors who dumped stocks for the sixth week in a row, the longest streak since mid-2022.

Foreigners dumped $22.6 million of stocks this week, taking the cumulative selling to $98.6m over the past six weeks.

The persistent selling is due to FTSE rebalancing, which demoted Pakistan from Secondary Emerging to Frontier Market in July.

In the past one and a half months, they have offloaded $27.9m fertilizer stocks, $26.5m oil and gas exploration stocks, and $18.5m food and personal care stocks.

To note, the benchmark KSE-100 Index rose 2.3% WoW to notch its second consecutive weekly gain. It is up 36.9% so far this year.

This selling pressure has largely been absorbed by Mutual funds. They have bought $82.8m shares on a net basis over the past six weeks.
