Jan 8 2026

  • Following an uninterrupted bullish rally over the past few sessions, the market underwent a profit-taking today, closing in negative territory. Trading commenced on a weak footing, with the benchmark index slipping sharply in early hours. Sentiment improved by midday as renewed buying interest lifted the index to an intra-day high of 187,905 level, marking the highest intra-day level ever recorded in PSX history. However, the rebound proved short-lived, as selling pressure resurfaced and intensified during the final trading hour. Consequently, the index reversed course and touched an intra-day low of 185,199 level, closing down 975.70 points.
  • Trading activity remained strong, with 576mn shares exchanged in the KSE-100 and 1.4bn shares recorded on the All-Share Index. Volume leaders included AGHA (132mn shares), PAEL (76mn shares), and HASCOL (60mn shares). Going forward, the market is expected to maintain a positive bias, supported by developments such as Pakistan–Saudi discussions on converting USD 2bn of loans into a JF-17 deal and the inauguration of the Karachi Port Trust ferry terminal to boost the blue economy. However, uncertainty remains inherent to the market, with a correction already evident amid elevated valuations. Ongoing geopolitical tensions also pose downside risks and could trigger volatility if conditions worsen. Therefore, investors are advised to remain vigilant, book profits selectively, and utilize market dips as entry opportunities.

Pakistan Cements: Dec’25 dispatches up 5%MoM – By Taurus Research

Jan 5 2026


Taurus Securities


  • Total cement dispatches in Dec’25 went up by 5%MoM to 4.35Mn tons i.e. Both domestic and export sales were up 5% MoM. Increase in domestic sales was attributed to rise in the construction demand despite higher construction material cost, duties and taxes—cement manufacturers have requested the Government to give concessions on duties and taxes by framing an industry-friendly policy in order to support construction activities, making cement viable domestically as well as for exports.
  • Further, North players are concerned as exports were Nil in the second consecutive month due to the border closure with Afghanistan, searching for alternative destinations like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh via Sea route. Further, imposition of US tariffs is likely to put pressure on exports for South players. Hence, subdued outlook for exports is anticipated for FY26.
