KARACHI: Shares snapped the three-day winning streak as the bulls took a breather on the second last day of the rollover week. The KSE-100 index tumbled 292.08 points, or 0.63 per cent, to close at 46,166.05.
A lack of triggers, fall in global markets and the ECC meeting again ignoring the approval of Textile Policy and the revision of OMC margins turned sentiments weak. Investor interest was further dented as Nepra indicated Rs1.60 per unit increase in power tariff against fuel adjustment.
The market remained volatile for the entire session, though mostly in the red as the popular sectors that had propelled the index over the past weeks withdrew support. Profit-taking in technology, E&P and oil & gas marketing companies drove the index down from intraday high by 187 points to 347 points low.
The spectacular rise in the prices of certain shares from March 25, 2020 to date has left investors gasping for breath.
The invasion of Covid-19 dented the KSE-100 index, which reached its nadir of 27,229 points on March 25 last year. From there onwards, the index displayed an upward spiral that over the last 10 months has gradually reached 45,984 points. This represents a 31-month high and a massive recovery of 69 per cent.
During the same period, price gains in certain stocks have been mind-blowing: two stocks in the technology sector have left analysts scratching their heads. TRG Ltd was languishing at Rs12.87 on March 25. It is now trading at Rs109.50, up 751pc in 10 months.
