The KSE-100 index continues to be in the grey region for the third consecutive day. Following a highly volatile trading activity, the benchmark index ultimately landed slightly towards the red zone, closing in at 41,851 points after losing 58.11 points during the day.

The market volatility throughout the trading session today was attributable to Asian Development Bank’s projected growth of only 4.80% for FY19, causing negative sentiments amongst the investors

On the other hand, positive sentiments were prompted by China’s agreement to strike import contracts with local producers to bridge the trade gap between the two countries.

Furthermore, anticipation regarding today’s IMF meeting caused mixed sentiments amongst investors.

The Oil & Gas Exploration Marketing, Oil & Gas Exploration and Fertilizer sectors emerged as the top loss contributors as they collectively took away around 82 points from the index. 

Precisely, losses on DAWH (-2.77%), POL (-1.28%), PPL (-0.8%) and PSO (-1.69%) drove most of the losses while the gains on LUCK (+2.36%) and PAKT (+4.31%) had the counter effect on the index.
