KSE-100 index retreats in short week Eid holidays, rising Covid-19 cases hamper activity at Pakistan Stock Exchange KARACHI: Lack of positive triggers at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) kept the bulls at bay as the benchmark KSE-100 index witnessed lifeless trading and closed almost flat. The index was down 41 points or 0.1% during the shortened trading week to close at 47,793.07. The market managed to finish one session out of the two sessions in the green during the week. The stock market remained closed for three days on account of Eidul Azha holidays. Trading was subdued with volumes remaining low throughout the week as the upcoming results season forced market players to trade cautiously. The week kicked off on a positive note, in line with the performance in the previous week. Trading, however, remained lacklustre as investors avoided taking fresh positions ahead of the three-day-long holidays (Tuesday-Thursday).
