KSE-100 Index at 13-month high this week

KARACHI: The benchmark KSE-100 Index hit 9,900 level during this week’s trading for the first time in the last 13 months.

But the bomb blast in Peshawar on Friday eroded the gains and the Index could not maintain the above level.

The market witnessed heavy fluctuations this week which were triggered mainly by the fragile law and order situation in the country and the major Index stood at 9,769 at weekend. The Index gained 314 points during the week.

The average trade volume was recorded at 270 million shares.

KSE-30 Index finished 210 points up to 10,381.
