PSX hits 158,224 as early session sees strong rally

KARACHI(National Times)- The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) opened Wednesday on a positive note as oil prices remained below $90 per barrel, easing concerns over potential supply disruptions.

However, the bullish momentum weakened as the session progressed, and gains narrowed to 1,587 points, reflecting ongoing volatility in the market.
