September 07, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan’s benchmark KSE‑100 index ended Monday’s session at 173,636.07, down 1,692.75 points (0.97%) amid rising Middle East tensions and a fresh oil‑price rally that dampened investor sentiment.
Oil prices continued their upward trend on Monday after heightened U.S.–Iran military activity involving commercial vessels raised concerns over a sustained disruption to Middle East crude supplies, further worsening risk‑off mood on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
