The ongoing Iran conflict continues to weigh heavily on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, with the benchmark KSE-100 index posting another negative weekly close.
The market shed 1,032 points (0.67%) to settle at 151,708, as sentiment was further dampened by Barrick Mining’s decision to slow progress on the Reko Diq project and the futures roll-over.
This week on Stock Watch, powered by Chase Securities and Bank of Punjab, Shuja Qureshi and Shahbaz Ashraf welcome Waqas Ghani of JS Global Capital to break down what Barrick’s move means for energy players like OGDC and PPL and to share practical guidance for investors navigating the turbulence.
