January 15, 2021 (MLN): The KSE-100 index ended the trading session on Friday with a 58.35 point or 0.13 percent decline to close at 45,931.00.

The index remained positive for most part of the session but lost momentum as investors turned towards profit-taking.

The major events for today included drop in oil prices as concerns about lockdown in Chinese cities due to coronavirus outbreak tempered a rally driven by strong import data from the world's biggest crude importer and U.S. plans for a large stimulus package.

While it had no significant impact on the trading activity, investors seemed briefly moved by the latest economic data which showed a 9.59% MoM improvement in exports from Pakistan for the month of December 2020. On the other hand, imports during the said period increased by 17% MoM.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Imran Khan approved little increase in the petroleum prices against the recommendations of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority. According to new prices, a raise of 3.2 rupees per liter was allowed in petrol, high speed diesel 2.95 rupees per liter, Kerosene oil 3 rupees per liter, and light diesel 4.42 per liter.
