Karachi Stocks Hit 7,500 Points

The huge share volume figure reflects that the market has pulled itself out from the state of uncertainty on the strength of all-round buying, leaving far behind the lean period when the single session volume has dropped to all-time low of 15.141m shares on Sept 3, 2001. The index finally finished around 7,508.80 points as compared to 7,403.00 a day earlier, up by 106 points, reflecting the strength of leading bank shares, PTCL, OGDC, PSO and some other energy and cement shares.
