Company-wise, the scrips of TRG, OGDC, LUCK, SEARL and SYS were the most desirable ones as they contributed 29, 24, 22, 20 and 17 points, respectively. On the other hand, the shares of ENGRO, UBL, NESTLE, MCB and EFERT were the unwanted ones, as they took away 50, 32, 26, 22, and 20 points, respectively.
