The KSE-100 index saw a significant recovery on March 3, 2026, gaining over 1,100 points during intraday trading, following a historic decline of 16,089.17 points the previous day. Key sectors such as cement, banks, and energy drove this rebound, with notable gains in index-heavy stocks like OGDC and MCB. Despite this positive movement, the market remains under pressure from escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly after the assassination of Iran's supreme leader, which has sparked fears of further instability in the region and potential supply disruptions in oil markets.
