Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a sharp decline at the start of trading on Tuesday, with the KSE-100 Index dropping by 867 points.
The index, which had recently reached a historic high of 116,000 points, now stands at 115,302 points.
Market analysts attribute the downturn to investors' profit-taking after the record-breaking rally and concerns over global economic trends. This significant drop has dampened investor confidence, although trading volumes remain steady.
Economic experts suggest monitoring upcoming policy decisions and international market developments, which are likely to impact market stability in the days ahead.
