The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) experienced a significant downturn on February 13, 2026, with the KSE-100 index plummeting by over 2,100 points during early trading hours, as reported by multiple sources including Business Recorder and Daily The Patriot. The index fell to an intraday low of 178,237.13, marking a 1.18% decline from the previous close of 180,512.64 points. This drop is part of a broader trend, with the index having lost over 3,400 points in a two-day correction. According to Dawn, this bearish momentum was driven by heavy selling in major sectors such as cement, commercial banks, and oil and gas exploration, with significant contributions to the decline from stocks like OGDC, PPL, and UBL.
