KSE-100: stocks stage recovery as index climbs by 136 points * Index clocks at 47,628 level; volume recorded at 191.69 million shares July 16, 2021 Market participation by retail investors ended their dry spell on Thursday which lifted benchmark kse-100 index to climb past 47,600 level after posting about 136 points gain by the closing bell. On Thursday, the trading kicked off on an optimistic note right after the opening bell as the index climbed steadily for most part of the day and touched intraday high of 47,736.13. However, the market came under selling pressure in final hours, which pared some of the gains. Market sentiments were primarily driven by the rumors of Oil discovery in Waziristan, which directed major capital to index heavyweight Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), said Irfan Saeed, Senior Vice President BMA Capital Management Limited.
