PSX Plunges Over 4,800 Points After Trump’s Iran Remarks

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) tumbled by more than 4,800 points during intraday trading following remarks by US President Donald Trump regarding Iran, triggering heavy selling in the market.

Investors reacted cautiously as rising geopolitical tensions fueled uncertainty across regional and global financial markets.

Market analysts said increased risk aversion prompted widespread selling, with major sectors recording significant losses during the trading session.

The sharp decline reflects investor concerns over the potential economic impact of escalating tensions in the Middle East and their effect on global markets.

Financial experts said market sentiment is expected to remain volatile as investors closely monitor further developments and official statements.

Analysts believe the PSX’s performance in the coming sessions will largely depend on geopolitical developments and broader trends in international financial markets.
