The Pakistan Stock Exchange kicked off the week on a strong footing, with the benchmark KSE-100 index surging to an intra-week high of approximately 157,400 points.

However, escalating geopolitical tensions and delays in finalizing the power sector’s circular debt resolution plan dampened investor sentiment.

As a result, the index managed a modest gain of just 163 points, or 0.1%, closing the week at 154,440.

This week on Stock Watch, join Nukta’s Shuja Qureshi alongside Shahbaz Ashraf, Head of Research at Nukta, and Junaid Godil, SVP Institutional Sales at Arif Habib Limited, as they unpack the implications of rising leveraged positions and interest rates.

The panel explores whether the ongoing uncertainty around the circular debt resolution could trigger aggressive profit-taking and shift market dynamics in the coming weeks.
