⚠️ Factors Influencing the Market
Geopolitical Tensions: The market's downturn earlier this week was primarily due to heightened tensions following India's "Operation Sindoor," which included drone strikes in major Pakistani cities. This led to a 7.6% drop in the KSE-100 on Thursday and a temporary suspension of trading.
Economic Concerns: Investor sentiment remains cautious amid concerns over Pakistan's economic stability and the outcome of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout discussions. The Economic Times+3The Times of India+3The Times of India+3Business News Today
