The pullback follows a strong rally yesterday, when the KSE-100 surged over 4,000 points (+2.85%) in a broad-based buying spree driven by sectors like autos, fertilizers, banks, cement, and oil & gas. Today’s retreat erased much of that gain, contributing to a year-to-date decline of about -13%, despite the index remaining up around 28-29% over the past year. Highs earlier this year touched near 191,000, highlighting ongoing volatility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
