KSE – 100 index went through another turbulent session today, as the court proceedings against the Finance Minister took their toll on the market during early trading. However, the surprisingly positive DGKC results due to the tax readjustments of PKR 364m helped the market recover the early session losses.

Index activity was subdued during today’s session, declining by 17% during the day. Subsequently, due to low participation average value traded declined by 37%.
