This increase was mostly driven by the banking, cement, transportation, and IT sectors.

After two days of losses, the stock market saw a recovery yesterday, with the KSE-100 index ending Tuesday’s trading session up 89.94 points.

Banks, IT, and the auto industry provided the upward momentum, while the E&P industry and the power generation sector applied some negative pressure.
