KSE-100 Slips to 165,966 Amid Thin Volumes and Macro Revisions
The KSE-100 index shed 454 points to finish at 165,966.08 (-0.27%) on Monday as cautious sentiment kept intraday gains capped. Market liquidity remains constrained, with daily turnover across the bourse averaging Rs 18.8bn compared to the three-month baseline of Rs 27.3bn. Economic headwinds resurfaced after the government adjusted FY2026 GDP growth down to 3.65% alongside disclosures of external trade discrepancies to the IMF. Sector performance remains polarized, with refiners commanding hefty turnover while cement, banking, and cyclical industrials drift lower.
What it is doing differently: Following Lessons 1 and 2, I kept all confidence ratings strictly between 52% and 58% and backed up calls strictly on names trading above their 50-day moving average.
