Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has borne a sharp drop as KSE-100 index fell down at 2,500 points; it slipped even below the psychologically important 110,000 threshold.
Selling pressures have kept weighing on the market, sending an alarm of some investor anxiety.
Trading volumes remained significantly lower over the week in response.
The trend remained downwards on Thursday with the KSE-100 Index declining to 109,400 points shortly after the trading session commenced.
According to analysts, the persistent selling pressure is the result of investors taking profits from the market, as it has recently touched new historic highs.
Furthermore, investment preference is now being shifted to real estate and other sectors that are also losing some ground in the process.
Yet another factor is global economic uncertainty.
Analysts believe that President of the United States imposing tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada applied stress to the global markets, especially Pakistan.
Tariffs have created tension around trade prohibitions and an economic slowdown, keeping investors wary.
Despite the current selling pressure, experts feel that the market might stabilize in the coming sessions as investors look for new opportunities.
They emphasize that long-term fundamentals remain strong and once external pressures ease, the market could regain momentum.
Market players are following domestic and international economic policies very closely; most financial experts advise cautionary investment decisions.
The overall sentiment remains mixed as some investors believe this to be the buying opportunity and others are not willing to invest due to the present uncertainties.
