The benchmark KSE-100 index had a good start to the day on Friday with a gradual hike, but it soon posted steep gains and steep losses. After opening at 64,639.15 points, the index showed a 185-point gain by 11 AM, hovering at 64,824.47 points. This occurred after the stock market reached its morning’s high of 64,609.31 points.

The energy sector accounted for the majority of the stocks that led the green movement, but the index’s growth was not sector-specific.
