PSX Faces Profit-Taking: KSE-100 Dips 1,800 Points Amid Regional Uncertainty

KARACHI — After a week of record-breaking highs, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a sharp correction today. The KSE-100 index shed over 1,800 points (approx. 1.1%), closing near the 167,000 mark. Analysts suggest that this dip is a natural result of “profit-taking” by investors who had gained significantly during the recent bull run. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the final outcome of the Islamabad peace talks has made the market cautious, with many traders waiting for a clear diplomatic signal before making new big moves.
