Karachi – The Pakistan Stock Exchange saw a rising trend on Friday following a disappointing performance on August 1.
The stock market’s upward momentum propelled the KSE-100 index to 78,397 points, up 656 points from the start of the week’s penultimate day trade.
The recent uptick is thought to be linked to a temporary thaw in political animosities between the government and former hardline Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) protesters.
It should be mentioned that the stock market had a mixed trend last week, with the KSE-100 index finishing at 77,740 points after shedding 146 points on August 1.
Meanwhile, dollar prices fell by Rs0.16, to Rs278.50 from Rs278.66 in interbank.
