The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a sharp decline on Monday as the KSE-100 index lost nearly 1,500 points during intraday trading. The sell-off reflected rising investor concerns over the country’s economic challenges, including inflationary pressures, high interest rates, and political uncertainty.
Major sectors such as banking, cement, and oil faced significant losses, with blue-chip stocks also contributing heavily to the plunge. Analysts attributed the steep drop to delays in foreign investment inflows and a lack of clarity on economic reforms. The bearish sentiment among investors has further weakened confidence in the market.
This sharp decline underscores the urgent need for stabilization measures to restore investor confidence. Market participants are closely monitoring progress on reforms and external funding, hoping for positive developments to ease the ongoing pressure on the PSX.
