KARACHI: The bears continued to dominate trading at the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Monday as the benchmark KSE-100 index extended losses from the previous week and recorded a decline of over 450 points. Succumbing to late-session profit-taking, the benchmark opened the week on a negative note.
The market opened on a positive note on the first day of the week despite the prevailing volatility on the political front, however, news regarding damage from flash floods to the economy dented investor sentiment.
