Buying seen across the board with index-heavy items leading charge A day after witnessing the biggest single-day decline of over 3,500 points, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) rebounded in emphatic fashion with the benchmark KSE-100 Index gaining nearly 4,700 points, its largest ever single-day point-increase on record, to settle above the 99,000 level for the first time. Bulls made a roaring comeback from the get-go as investors rejoiced over a decline in political turmoil as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ended its three-day protest in Islamabad following a law enforcement crackdown. During trading, the KSE-100 hit an intra-day high of 99,549.81. At close on Wednesday, the benchmark index settled at 99,269.25, an increase of 4,695.09 points or 4.96%. Courtesy: PSX Massive buying was witnessed at the bourse with the index-heavy banking sector leading the rally alongside other sectors including automobile assemblers, oil and gas exploration companies, OMCs and power generation. Index-heavy stocks including HBL, NBP, MCB, OGDC, SSGC and HUBCO traded in the green territory. The final few minutes also saw buying interest, showing that the trend was here to stay. The positive sentiment was a complete turnaround from Tuesday’s bloodbath , as the benchmark KSE-100 Index witnessed the biggest single-day decline, plunging by over 3,500 points to settle at 94,574, with investors viewing Islamabad’s situation as worsening after the Pakistan Army was called in to stop the protest from becoming more violent. However, optimism returned following decisive overnight actions by law enforcement. The police and Rangers on Tuesday cleared Blue Area as well as D-Chowk after launching a late night crackdown on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protesters headed by Bushra Bibi, the wife of Imran Khan, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur. “Pakistan stocks recovered at opening after the opposition protest got over last night,” said Mohammed Sohail, CEO of Topline Securities, in a note. Adding to the positive momentum, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Tuesday removed the Minimum Profit Rate (MPR) requirement for all conventional banks on deposits from financial institutions, public sector enterprises, and public limited companies. The central bank also directed Islamic Banking Institutions (IBIs) to pay at least 75% of the weighted average gross yield from their investment pools as profit on PKR savings deposits. Internationally, Asian stocks were heavy on Wednesday as investors fretted over what countries could be targeted for tariffs under incoming US President Donald Trump, a day after he pledged new levies on Canada, Mexico and China. Japan’s Nikkei was a stand-out underperformer again on Wednesday, declining 0.9%. The autos sector was the worst-performing industry group on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, dropping more than 3% as both the threat of tariffs and the drag of a stronger yen weighed on the profit outlook. Mainland Chinese blue chips sank 0.4%, although Hong Kong’s Hang Seng managed a 0.1% rise. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares drooped 0.1%. Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee recorded a marginal decline against the US dollar, depreciating 0.04% in the inter-bank market on Wednesday.

Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke recently opened up about the incredible highs and emotional challenges of fatherhood during an appearance on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast. The beloved ballroom dancer, who shares twins George and Henrietta with his wife Hannah, reflected on the couple's battle with infertility and their ultimate joy at becoming parents, describing the experience as nothing short of "stupendous." In his characteristic candid and heartfelt style, Anton revealed the emotional rollercoaster the couple endured on their journey to parenthood, offering a rare glimpse into his personal life and his deep admiration for his wife, Hannah. A heartbreaking battle with infertility For Anton and Hannah, the path to parenthood was far from straightforward. Speaking openly about Hannah's battle with endometriosis, Anton described his frustration and heartbreak at the challenges they faced. "She's so kind and so caring, I just couldn't understand the universe," he shared. "Whoever's upstairs looking down and saying, 'You are the most perfect person to have children, but I'm not going to let you have children,' because you're going to have endometriosis... I thought that was peculiar and cruel." The dancer admitted he was shocked at how little awareness there is surrounding endometriosis and women's health. "I'm staggered about it. Before I met Hannah, I'd never heard the word 'endometriosis.' Since then, I'm still staggered by how little it's talked about." Anton passionately advocated for more awareness, saying, "I'm all about women's health and making sure it gets fixed. Some people can't even get out of bed in the morning because of it. That's not OK." Turning to IVF Faced with the heartbreaking reality that natural conception wasn't an option, Anton and Hannah turned to IVF – a journey Anton described as emotionally and physically gruelling. "The only answer for us was IVF," he explained. "This isn't available to a lot of people. How is that possible? You girls are extraordinary. I'm a man! It seems men are so important and big, but they're useless and do nothing." Anton then recalled witnessing Hannah endure the intense and demanding treatment. He stated, "The injections, the stress, the anxiety... injections in the bum, thigh, stomach. What can you do? All you can do is hold their hand. It's horrendous as a man to watch it. You feel so inadequate, you want to do so much more." Despite the challenges, the couple remained hopeful, and their perseverance paid off in the most magical way, with the arrival of beautiful and healthy twins. The joy of discovering twins Anton vividly recalled the moment they discovered Hannah was not only pregnant but carrying twins . In his trademark humorous style, he shared his stunned reaction. "The doctor's fiddling around and he goes, 'Ooh, there's another heartbeat.' I was stunned! I went – pardon my language – '[Expletive] me, mate!'" He continued, "I couldn't speak. Then we found out it was a boy and a girl. It's the most incredible thing. I can't tell you how wonderful, how magical it is." The dancer's voice brimmed with pride and love as he described his children. "We ended up with this perfect boy and girl. They are just magical. They are wonderful, wonderful children. It makes me emotional every time I think about it." A "stupendous" experience Now firmly settled into fatherhood, Anton couldn't be happier. He gushed about every aspect of being a dad, describing it as the greatest joy of his life. "If I could, I'd have 100 children. I'd do it repeatedly. I love it so much. Every single bit about being a father, I love it. It's stupendous. I would do it over, and over, and over again if I had enough money!" Anton's gratitude for his family shone through as he reflected on their journey. "Hannah had this thing that said she couldn't have children. We tried to defeat it, really. And we did." A new chapter Anton and Hannah's life with their twins continues to be filled with love, laughter, and joy. Fans were recently delighted when Anton shared a video on Instagram revealing two adorable additions to the family – a pair of puppies. The clip, which melted hearts across social media, showed George and Henrietta playing with the puppies, underscoring the family's happy, bustling household. As Anton continues to shine on Strictly Come Dancing, it's clear that his most cherished role is that of a doting father. His journey to parenthood, though challenging, is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of love. For the Strictly star, life with his twins is, in his own words, "just perfect."
