KSE-100 Index Drops 1,708 Points Amid Global Trade War Fears

On April 9, 2025, Pakistan’s KSE-100 Index fell by 1,708.21 points, reaching 113,824.22 during intra-day trading by 11:30 a.m., representing a 1.48% decline.

The index opened at 115,532.43 and briefly peaked at 115,092.12 before dropping to a low of 112,891.48. More than 103 million shares were traded, with a market value of Rs8.54 billion. The bearish sentiment is influenced by shaky investor confidence and ongoing global economic concerns.

On Tuesday, the market demonstrated resilience, with the index hitting a high of 116,692.29 and a low of 115,560.90. This was supported by the trading of 338.9 million shares, valued at Rs27.29 billion. However, Wednesday’s significant decline wiped out those gains, reminiscent of Monday’s severe sell-off when the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) dropped by 3,882 points due to global trade fears.

The downturn is tied to escalating tensions after US President Donald Trump doubled down on new tariffs, prompting China’s retaliation. Fears of a broader trade war sent Asian markets into a tailspin, European shares to a 16-month low, and oil prices crashing. Investors worry that Trump’s duties, which were unveiled last week, could spike prices, sap demand and tip the world into recession.

With the KSE-100 struggling, Pakistan investors face uncertainty as global pressures increase. The severe losses on Monday set the tone, and the significant drop on Wednesday highlights the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s sensitivity to external shocks. Analysts believe rebuilding confidence is essential to stabilize the index in this turbulent trading environment.
