Pakistan, May 8 -- The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has experienced a sharp decline, losing a staggering 12,000 points in just two days, as escalating tensions between Pakistan and India continue to unsettle investors. The KSE-100 index plunged by 6,948 points, falling to 103,060 during the early hours of trading on Thursday.

The day began with some optimism, as the index briefly rose to 111,881 points, gaining 1,800 points. However, this brief rally was short-lived, and the market quickly turned negative, prompting a temporary halt in trading. This downward trend follows a turbulent Wednesday, when the PSX saw a massive loss of 6,000 points after India launched an attack on Pakistan on May 6, heightening war fears.
