Market participation continued to dwindle at KSE-100 index in a range bound session on Tuesday, as looming deadline to submit Capital Gain Tax (CGT) kept investors away from the bourse.
On Tuesday, the index clocked at 47,480 level after posting a meagre 33.41 point gain by the closing bell. The index accelerated to an intraday high of 47,585.18 points and slid to an intraday low of 47,439.89 points, moving within a range of 145.29 points and closing the session in consolidation.
Earlier, trading began on a positive note and the index inched closer to the 47,600-point mark in early hours, however, investors took this as an opportunity to book profit, which interrupted the ascent and dragged the market down.
