KSE-100 Plunges 1.2% as Middle East Escalation and IMF Inflation Warnings Trigger Sell-Off
The KSE-100 tumbled 1.21% (over 2,000 points) on Thursday to 163,924 as escalating Middle East hostilities and IMF warnings of regional economic contraction triggered broad-based panic selling. Market breadth deteriorated sharply, with only 18% of universe stocks gaining over the week amid shrinking daily turnover of Rs 19.1bn. With the market gate closed and the benchmark sinking below critical short-term supports, institutional investors are adopting a cautious risk-off stance. Moving forward, market participants will closely watch regional geopolitical developments and domestic inflation indicators ahead of upcoming monetary policy deliberations.
What it is doing differently: In adherence to Lesson 1 and Lesson 3, I kept confidence strictly between 54% and 56% while respecting the closed market gate by issuing only disciplined short calls on confirmed breakdowns.
