Recent KSE-100 Trading Data
Daily open, high, low and close values for the most recent trading sessions, with the day’s change measured against the opening level.
The KSE-100 Index is the benchmark index of the PSX. It tracks the performance of the 100 largest and most actively traded companies listed on the exchange, selected on the basis of market capitalisation and liquidity. Movements in the KSE-100 are widely reported as a barometer of investor sentiment and the broader direction of Pakistan’s equity market. When the index rises, it means the combined value of those 100 companies has grown; when it falls, value has been lost. Other indices, including the KSE-30 and the KMI All-Share Islamic Index, cater to more specific segments.
How the Pakistan Stock Exchange Works
Trading on the PSX takes place electronically through licensed brokerage houses. Investors open an account with a broker, and buy and sell orders are matched on the exchange’s trading system during market hours, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Settlement follows the exchange’s prescribed cycle, and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan regulates market conduct and investor protection. To start investing, an individual typically opens a brokerage account, completes biometric verification, deposits funds, and can then place orders through the broker’s app or terminal.
What Moves Share Prices?
Share prices move for many reasons, including company earnings, interest-rate decisions, currency movements, government policy, and global commodity trends. Strong corporate results and falling interest rates tend to lift the market, while political uncertainty, a weakening rupee or rising oil prices can drag it down. Index levels therefore change throughout the trading day, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
