September 2, 2021 (MLN): The Pakistan Stock Exchange on Thursday finished the volatile session in red as profit-taking was witnessed at higher levels which dragged the benchmark index down by 510.40 points to close at 46,903.06-mark.
The market opened on a negative note as pessimism gripped the investors’ sentiments due to the all-time high trade deficit that clocked in at USD4.05bn during August 2021 that was led by the second highest ever imports and reduction in exports (down 4% MoM).
