    • Trading volume drops massively to 187.5mn
Published May 30, 2022

The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 maintained its winning streak for a fourth consecutive session on Monday, with the index rallying to close over the 43,000-point mark after a 179-point gain.

Lack of concrete developments, however, meant stocks traded sideways, coupled with massive drop in investor participation, as the index remained in a narrow range.

The prolonged rally has still added 1,090 points to the market since Wednesday.

At close on Monday, the KSE-100 finished with an increase of 178.69 points, or 0.42%, to close at 43,040.14.
