After four straight strong sessions that took the index above 175,000, selling returned at the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Friday as investors booked profits on the last trading day of the week. The benchmark eased to 173,885.78 by midday, down 1,494.09 points (0.85%) from Thursday's close of 175,379.87, after touching an intraday low of 172,809.89 in the morning and recovering part of the early losses — at 9:40 AM it had been down 2,233.79 points (1.27%) at 173,146.07, and at 10:40 AM it was at 173,355.05.

The PSX slide mirrors a sharp global selloff — US stocks fell heavily on Thursday, with the Nasdaq down 5.52%, its worst day in 19 months, the S&P 500 down 4.36% and the Dow down 3.44%, as worries over stretched AI and technology valuations hit the market. Asian markets tumbled on Friday, with South Korea's KOSPI dropping more than 8% and triggering a circuit breaker, Japan's Nikkei down about 5.3% and Taiwan down over 8%. Brent crude rebounded to around $99–100 a barrel after slipping below $100 earlier in the week, with WTI near $91.
