The Pakistan Stock Market witnessed a dramatic reversal, with the KSE-100 Index plummeting 3,668 points to close at 157,870, wiping out all of Monday's gains.
The primary driver was not the economy—which posted a strong 2.1 Trillion Rupee budget surplus—but a severe spike in political and security uncertainty. A tragic blast in Islamabad and the Defence Minister's "state of war" comments triggered a massive sell-off as investor sentiment soured.
In this morning's brief, we dissect the panic, analyze the technical levels to watch, and look at the institutional flows to see who was buying and who was selling during the downturn.
Today's Brief Covers:
Market Tumble: The 3,668-point drop, 836M share volume, and PKR 38B traded value.
The Big "Why": How political news and security concerns caused the crash.
Ignored Fundamentals: The strong budget surplus, stable Rupee, and Google's plans for a Pakistan office.
Sector Impact: Commercial Banks and Oil & Gas lead the decline.
Investor Flows: Foreigners sell ($2.5M), while Individuals ($3.5M) and Mutual Funds ($2.0M) buy the dip.
Technical Outlook: Key support at 155,300 and resistance at 169,000.
Corporate Watch: Board meetings for Lotte Chemical (LOTCHEM) and PTCL.

But this rally comes amid a backdrop of significant political uncertainty. In today's brief, we report on:
Market Action: The massive 1.2% jump, strong volumes, and positive market breadth (292 advancers).
Sector Movers: The Textile Composite sector makes a huge positive impact, adding over 54 billion rupees in market cap.
