What the session actually says
The index finished higher on a day when more shares fell than rose. The KSE-100 is weighted by free-float market capitalisation, so a session like this one is carried by a handful of heavyweight listings rather than by the market as a whole, and the advance/decline count above is the better description of what most portfolios did. Our guide to PSX market cycles covers what drives these moves over a longer horizon.
