KARACHI: The KE-100 index dropped 675 points to open at 64, 600 on Thursday, marking the start of a negative trend for the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).

The PSX 100-index saw a bearish trend on Wednesday, closing at 65,280.16 points as opposed to 66,426.78 points the day before, a decrease of 1,73 percent or 1,146.62 points.

Analysts concluded that the PSX’s negative trading was primarily due to profit-taking. Following the Supreme Court’s suspension of its decision regarding military trials of civilians, the most recent political development also conditionally contributed to the bearish trend.
