How to read this
A single session tells you very little on its own. Index moves on the PSX are dominated by a handful of heavyweight listings, so the KSE-100 can rise on a day when most shares fell — which is exactly what the advance/decline count above is for. Sector averages are similarly weighted towards their largest constituents; read a sector move as a signal about its giants, not about every company in it. Our guide to PSX market cycles covers what actually drives these moves over a longer horizon.
