Pakistan Stock Market Update: Let’s talk about the Pakistan Stock Market today in super simple words. The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is where people buy and sell shares of companies. Its main index, called the KSE-100, tells us how the market is doing.

Right now, the KSE-100 index is at around 107,296 points, but it dropped a lot today by about 6,272 points (that’s nearly 6%). Why? There’s some tension because of recent news about India’s military actions called “Operation Sindoor.” This has made investors worried, so many sold their shares, causing the market to fall.
India has targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under ‘Operation Sindoor’ in a strong response to the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam. Terror organisation The Resistance Front had claimed responsibility for the attack.
But don’t worry, markets can go up and down. Some experts say this drop might be temporary. If things calm down, the market could bounce back. If you’re thinking of investing, the KSE-100 has big companies like Lucky Cement and Engro, which can be good for long-term investment. Always talk to a financial advisor before making any decisions!
