What Happened
The market opened on a positive note and crossed the 180,000 mark, extending Tuesday’s rally that came on easing US-Iran tensions. Investors then booked profits in the final hours, pulling the index into the red, Business Recorder reported. Global cues were mixed: US core inflation for October came in slightly above forecasts, and some Federal Reserve officials signalled that further rate rises were possible, keeping the dollar firm.
Smaller, low-priced stocks saw heavy trading. WorldCall Telecom and Tasdeeq Information Services both rose close to 20%, while Premier Insurance rights fell sharply.
Gold Falls Rs3,400 per Tola
In the bullion market, the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association cut the price of 24-karat gold by Rs3,400 to Rs427,436 per tola, and by Rs2,915 to Rs366,457 per 10 grams. The international price slipped $34 to about $4,049 per ounce. Silver went the other way, rising Rs45 to Rs5,768 per tola. See all karat rates on our gold rate today page.
What This Means for You
- A 0.14% dip after a 3% jump is a normal pause, not a change in trend. Long-term investors usually look past single-day moves.
- Heavy volumes in penny stocks often come with sharp swings both ways. Be careful about chasing them.
- Gold buyers get a slightly better price today than earlier this week. New to stocks? Start with our Pakistan Stock Exchange guide.
