After witnessing an onslaught for the first three days of October, the KSE-100 finally crawled out of the negativity. Yesterday’s session was high jacked by the DG ISPR announcement that he will hold a press conference, which dulled investor participation.
Commercial Banks was the top performing sector during the day, with FABL +4.81% , SNBL +4.28%, HBL +1.94% and MCB +2.56% all ending positive during the day. Closely behind Commercial Banks were Oil & Gas Exploration Companies, with MARI +5.00% and POL +3.08% staging a comeback after international oil prices were better off on the back Russian announcement of extending the cuts into the next year.
On the contrary, Food & Personal Care Products and Leather and Tanneries did not perform in sync of the exchange.
