KSE – 100 extended gains from previous week, adding more than 239 points to the index. Index has registered a significant growth during the last few weeks as optimism reboots in the index. Rare political calm, coupled with attractive valuations has had local investors buying during the last three weeks.

Despite being the worst performing index in the world during 2017, KSE – 100 currently offers attractive valuations, with a stable political scene the index could rebound. Index drew the curtain to the year 2017 by posting -15.3%, which is the worst annual return for the index since 2008.

The blame for the historic loss could be pinned to numerous reasons: political uncertainty resulting from the disqualification of ex-Prime Minister, weakening External situation of the economy and expectations of PKR’s devaluation which prompted a sell-off by foreigners in turn.

Sector-wise all share index turnover was led by Engineering (19.974 million), Technology & Communication (19.167 million), Cement (15.222 million) and with Insurance (3.240 million) and Inv. Banks/Inv. Cos./Securities Cos. (3.057 million) stocks trailing at the bottom.
