World markets and oil

Other markets, for context. They moved around the same time as the KSE-100; this is not a measured cause. The session column shows which trading day each figure is from, because the US and German markets close after Pakistan’s day ends.

How these figures are made

  • Index level and change: the day’s end-of-day closing data.
  • Points by sector: each of the 100 KSE-100 stocks’ contribution to the index change in points, added up by sector by Stock AI PSX.
  • Breadth and volume: how many stocks rose, fell or were unchanged and how many shares traded, taken from two separate tables and compared.
  • World markets and oil: closing levels of the named indices and futures for the sessions shown.
  • Checks: 27 automated checks passed before this page was written. They confirm, for example, that the index points add up to the change and that two tables agree on breadth. A day that fails a check is not published.
