At close, the Karachi Stock Exchange’s (KSE) benchmark 100-share index fell 0.13% or 39.19 points to end at 30,355.22.
Cements stood firm ground as decline in international coal prices, higher retention prices and continued month-on-month improvement in local sales helped channel institutional money to the sector.
