The Pakistan Stock Exchange's KSE-100 Index experienced significant intraday volatility on Thursday, swinging nearly 900 points before closing with a strong rebound.
The benchmark index finished the session at 173,511.65, having recovered from earlier lows to gain approximately 600 points on the day.
The sharp reversal underscores the fragile sentiment currently gripping Pakistani equities.
While the index managed to close in positive territory, the wide trading range suggests that buyers and sellers remain deeply divided on near-term direction.
The volatility reflects broader uncertainty in emerging markets, where risk appetite is being tested by global macroeconomic headwinds.
This session follows a period of weakness across other Asian and Pacific markets.
