What is driving the market

The KSE-100 is about 11% below its January peak of 189,167 and is testing 168,000, where its 200-day average and the 60-day low meet. On 1 October it fell 1,332 points to 168,637. Oil above $95, inflation above 10% and an 11.5% policy rate are the headwinds; an IMF staff-level agreement is the main catalyst.

Oil shock
The war involving Iran has kept the Strait of Hormuz disrupted. Brent rose about 13% in September to roughly $97 to $103, which raises Pakistan's import bill and inflation.
Inflation and rates
CPI eased to 10.3% in September from 11.1% in August, but prices still rose 1.3% in the month. The State Bank held the policy rate at 11.5% on 14 September; cuts look unlikely until inflation falls further.
IMF review
The mission for the fourth EFF review began in late September. A staff-level agreement would release about $1.2bn and is the market's main upside catalyst.
Who is buying
Individuals and banks are net buyers; foreigners and mutual funds are selling. Local money is holding the market up.

Scenarios to year-end

Bull case

about 30% likely

IMF deal, Brent below $90 and easing inflation: the index reclaims 173k and heads for 182k to 189k.

Base case

about 45% likely

IMF deal but oil stays high: a 166k to 178k range where stock picking in oil producers and banks pays.

Bear case

about 25% likely

Escalation with oil above $110, an inflation surprise or IMF delay: a close below 168k opens 160k, then about 152k.
