KARACHI: Stocks returned to winning ways on Tuesday as the KSE-100 Index surged close to 795 points in intra-day trading before minor profit-taking erased some of the gains.
The index still ended with an increase of 592.19 points or 1.4% to finish at 42,939.68 points.
The index shot up as soon as trading began with investors buying in sectors across the board. The buying spree lent support to the index, as it managed to cross the 43,100 barrier.
However, cautious over the upcoming planned protests by major political parties, investors opted to book gains and await clarity as the weekend nears.
