Pakistan, Oct. 7 -- KARACHI - The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a volatile session on Tuesday as investors engaged in profit-taking after an early upward rally. The benchmark KSE-100 Index initially surged by more than 700 points, reaching 168,518 points, before losing momentum due to broad-based selling pressure across major sectors.

Despite beginning the day on a bullish note, market sentiment soon turned cautious as heavy selling was observed in key sectors such as cement, banking, fertilisers, oil and gas exploration, and refineries. Prominent stocks including ARL, MARI, OGDC, POL, PPL, PSO, and WAFI moved into negative territory, pulling the index down from its intra-day highs.
