The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) remained under pressure on Friday, October 2, 2026, following the previous session’s sharp decline. The KSE-100 Index traded lower during the session, with selling pressure seen across automobiles, cement, commercial banks, oil and gas exploration, OMCs and power stocks.
Market sentiment remained cautious amid continuing Middle East tensions and uncertainty surrounding global oil supplies. International oil prices remained elevated, although Brent crude later moved below $100 per barrel as markets considered possible releases of strategic fuel and crude reserves.
The market also remained sensitive to global developments ahead of key US economic data. Investors continued monitoring oil prices, geopolitical developments, domestic economic indicators and corporate announcements for further direction.
Overall, Friday’s session reflected cautious trading and continued volatility following the recent market weakness.
