The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) benchmark index, the KSE-100, deepened its decline on Tuesday, shedding more than 4,000 points during early trading sessions.
The sharp drop marks the second consecutive day of losses for the market, reflecting intensifying pressure from external macroeconomic headwinds.
This development follows a previous session where the KSE-100 had already lost more than 3,000 points, indicating a sustained risk-off environment.
The sell-off coincides with a nearly 3% rise in global oil prices, which has exacerbated concerns over import bills and inflationary pressures in emerging markets.
Analysts point to heightened uncertainty regarding the medium-term outlook, citing an emerging geopolitical situation that is weighing heavily on investor sentiment.
