Weekly recap: KSE-100 under pressure, retreats 2%

  • Russia-Ukraine conflict, monetary policy announcement, and oil prices major drivers of PSX's benchmark index
Published March 12, 2022

The KSE-100 Index came under pressure right from the start of the week, kicking off with a nearly 3% fall on Monday before retreating further. However, it saw its best day of 2022 so far on Thursday, which helped reduce the weekly loss to just over 2%.

The conflict in Ukraine continued to push oil prices upwards with Brent touching 14-year high of $130 per barrel during the week, which put stocks under pressure.

This recent boost in oil prices was brought on by US and EU discussions regarding possibilities of banning Russian oil and energy imports. On the local front, submission of a no-confidence motion against the PM also added to uncertainty.

However, the downward movement was broken mid-week as the market reacted positively to the State Bank of Pakistan’s decision to keep policy rate unchanged at 9.75% and oil prices retreated from decades high rates of $130 per barrel and settled around $113 per barrel by end of the week.

During the week, KSE-100 lost 898.02 points or 2.02%, closing at 43,653.33 points. Total market trading volume fell by around 8 million shares or 0.75%.

On a WoW basis, Technology and Communication sector remained the most active by volume with around 248 million shares followed by Chemicals (93 million shares), Food & Personal Care (92.9 million) and Cement (92.6 million).
