March 15, 2022 (MLN): The capital market opened on a positive note but remained jittery on the back of political disturbance on the domestic front in the wake of the no-confidence motion against the PM which has created notable ambiguity across the trading floor.

However, the drop in oil prices in the international market has somewhat managed to restore investors’ confidence as strong buying activity was observed during the last trading hours.

Accordingly, the benchmark KSE100 index ended the trading session at 43,719.82 with a gain of 352.93 points.
