Trading at the (PSX) was temporarily suspended

Trading at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) was temporarily suspended at the opening bell on Monday after the benchmark index recorded a sharp decline of 9 percent in early trade.

According to market officials, the steep fall triggered the exchange’s automatic circuit breaker mechanism, leading to an immediate halt in trading to curb further volatility and allow investors time to assess market conditions. The trading halt came into effect as soon as the market opened, reflecting heavy selling pressure across the board.

The PSX has confirmed that trading activity is scheduled to resume at 10:22 am, once the temporary suspension period concludes..
