The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed almost flat on Wednesday as a lack of positive triggers kept investors cautious. After a volatile session, the KSE-100 Index managed a marginal gain of 0.09 percent, settling at 188,380 points, reflecting subdued participation and selective buying across key sectors. Total traded volume rose to 953.9 million shares compared to 749.2 million shares a day earlier, with traded value reaching Rs48.8 billion. In contrast, fertiliser and technology stocks remained largely inactive as investors avoided aggressive positioning. K-Electric led volumes with nearly 197 million shares traded, closing at Rs7.30 after gaining Rs0.26, indicating continued interest in selected low-priced stocks.
