PSX today!

The KSE100 Index closed at 70,657 losing 445 points, down -0.63%. (02 May 2024)

The KSE100 Index had lost 445 points today. In the last 4 trading sessions, it has lost over 2000 points, primarily on policy rates remaining elevated at 22%.

Despite that, or because of that, a good amount of ‘foreign corporates’ buying continues at PSX. Today, their net buying was over $2.4 million. Even ‘oversea Pakistanis’ were net buyers.

In the local investor category, all sold except insurance companies, but their net buying was less than $0.5 million.

The Market is generally pressured in its recovery mode when even mutual funds tend to be net sellers.

‘Other organizations’ (whoever they are) were major net sellers in the ‘local’ category with $1.6 million in net sale.

Brent Crude Logs Biggest Weekly Drop Since September on Weak Demand, Easing Tensions

Oil prices were under pressure this week. Brent crude oil futures fell 1.9% to $73 per barrel on Friday, registering the biggest weekly loss since early September, with prices dropping over 7%. The decline was attributed to weaker demand forecasts from OPEC and the International Energy Agency (IEA), slowing economic growth in China, and signs of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Both OPEC and the IEA revised down their demand forecasts for 2024 and 2025. China's refinery output declined for the sixth consecutive month, impacted by weak fuel demand and the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil production reached a new record last week. Although a drawdown in U.S. crude inventories and stronger-than-expected retail sales in September provided some support to oil prices, easing concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East exerted additional downward pressure on the market.
