Selling pressure continued at the Pakistan Stock Exchange through the middle of Monday's session, 2 November 2026. By 12:40 PM, the benchmark KSE-100 index stood at 165,658.94 points, down 750.31 points, or 0.45%, from Friday's close of 166,409.25. The index had traded between a high of 166,581.95 and a low of 165,585.42 during the day so far.
The midday level is weaker than the morning snapshot: at 10:20 AM the index was at 165,812.12, down 597.13 points (0.36%), so the market slipped further as the session wore on. Selling was seen across key sectors including automobile assemblers, cement, commercial banks, oil and gas exploration companies, oil marketing companies and refineries, with index-heavy names such as MARI, OGDC, PPL, PSO, SSGC, SNGPL, ARL, MCB, MEBL, NBP and UBL trading in negative territory in the morning report.
The weak start follows a strong previous week, when the index snapped a five-week losing streak by gaining 4,034.37 points, or 2.5% week-on-week, to close at 166,409.25 on Friday.
International markets were mixed in Monday morning trade. In India, the Sensex opened strongly, surging over 700 points to 75,178.24, while the Nifty 50 opened 0.73% higher at 23,222.30, helped by easing crude oil prices and lower US bond yields. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's KOSPI advanced over 2% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng edged higher, while Japan's Nikkei was little changed. In the United States, Friday's session had closed sharply lower — the S&P 500 fell 1.82% to 7,580.07 and the Nasdaq dropped 2.86% to 25,437.00.
This is a midday snapshot, not the final close: the index can still move through the rest of Monday's session, and the next stock update will carry the later position. This update is for information only and is not investment advice.
