The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) staged a rebound on Thursday and went north because of overall optimism in the wake of upcoming corporate earnings season.
Investor expectations about strong quarterly financial results and subsiding political uncertainty left a positive impact on activity at the bourse.
Cement and steel stocks were in the limelight during the trading session and both sectors managed to close the session entirely in the positive zone.
