The Pakistan stock market halted trading after its benchmark KSE-30 index dropped 7.1%, continuing a sharp decline for the second consecutive session. The fall came after Indian military forces carried out strikes against several terrorist outfits across the country under ‘Operation Sindoor.’
Alongside the KSE-30 index, the KSE 100 index also suffered a significant crash, losing over 6.32% (around 6,938 points) and reaching approximately 103,060 at 1:40 pm IST. Since April 22, the KSE 100 index has dropped by 13.56%, losing 16,157 points in total.
Despite the rising tensions with Pakistan, Indian stock markets have shown resilience. Both the Sensex and Nifty indices remained flat, with no significant impact on their performance.
This ongoing market volatility highlights the growing uncertainty in the region, with investors closely monitoring the situation.
