Stocks muted on Wednesday as lockdown noise grew louder given the Covid rampage, even eclipsing some lustrous corporate results, dealers said.
Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) KSE-100 Shares Index lost 0.21 percent or 93.24 points
to close at 45,306.54 points. Volumes ticked up to 387.908 million shares from 343.28 million on Tuesday.
A A H Soomro at KASB Securities said market remained flattish-to-red as index kept oscillating in a narrow band in the earnings week as investors weighed the strong possibility of further targeted lockdowns.
“So far, even the good results haven t been able to cheer their share prices. Today s warning from NCOC presents a grim picture of next few days/weeks as hospital capacities are overwhelmed,” Soomro said.
