The KSE-100 index closed at 112,414.81 points, after trading within a range of 2,742.07 points. The intraday high reached 115,036.49 (+1,112.08 points), while the low touched 112,294.42 (-1,629.99 points). The total trading volume for the index stood at 352.68 million shares. Despite opening on a positive note and briefly crossing the 115,000 mark, profit-taking erased earlier gains. Analysts attributed the downturn to several factors, including pressure from futures contracts rollover, political uncertainty over government-PTI negotiations, a weak rupee, declining global crude oil prices, and institutional selling in overbought stocks. Ahsan Mehanti, an analyst at Arif Habib Corp, remarked, “Profit-taking was observed amid pressure from futures rollover and uncertainty surrounding government-PTI talks. Weakness in the rupee, falling crude oil prices and institutional selling acted as catalysts for the bearish activity.” Ali Najib, head of sales at Insight Securities, noted in his post-trading commentary, “Profit-taking and value-hunting behaviours influenced the index’s movement. While the market showed optimism early in the session, investors adopted varied strategies throughout the day, leading to a 1.33 per cent decline in the index.” He highlighted that in the first half of the session, investors engaged in profit-taking ahead of the year-end, while others resorted to value hunting in the latter half. Key stocks such as FFC, MARI, MCB, HUBC and Engro faced significant selling pressure, collectively dragging the index down by 851 points. On the other hand, UBL, DAWH, SNGP, TRG and PSEL added 354 points to the index. Maaz Mullah, an analyst at Topline Securities, pointed out the day’s volatility, stating, “The KSE-100 index oscillated between an intraday high of 1,112 points and a low of 1,629 points due to profit-taking and bearish sentiment. By the close of trading, the index had shed 1,509 points, or 1.33 per cent, to settle at 112,414.80.” He explained that concerns over rising leverage positions and increasing borrowing costs heightened investor risk perceptions, prompting portfolio trimming. The impending December contracts also added further pressure, resulting in cautious and selective trading. Trading activity remained robust, with 879 million shares traded and a turnover of Rs54 billion. WTL led the volume chart with 127 million shares traded. Among the 100 index companies, 21 closed higher, 78 ended lower, and one remained unchanged. Top losers during the day were PKGP (-9.98 per cent), KOSM (-5.33 per cent), PTC (-5.05 per cent), MUGHAL (-4.83 per cent), and CNERGY (-4.57 per cent). Top gainers were PGLC (+10.03 per cent), SNGP (+6.35 per cent), TRG (+4.86 per cent), APL (+3.46 per cent), and DAWH (+3.30 per cent). The biggest contributors to the index’s decline were FFC (-335.8 points), MARI (-191.48 points), MCB (-143.86 points), HUBC (-110.23 points), and ENGRO (-68.76 points). Conversely, UBL (+155.80 points), DAWH (+82.00 points), SNGP (+61.76 points), TRG (+37.35 points) and PSEL (+16.83 points) helped offset the losses.

JOHNSON CONTROLS ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY DIVIDENDThe billing of London-born former Chelsea boss Hayes against England’s Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman – arguably the best two bosses in the women’s game – had generated more buzz in the build-up than the players on the pitch, despite it being a rare encounter between the two top-ranked sides in the world. Hayes enjoyed her return to familiar shores but felt the US lacked the “killer piece” after they looked the likelier side to make the breakthrough. Elite meeting of the minds 🌟 pic.twitter.com/R4d8EArqTp — U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) November 30, 2024 Asked what was going through her mind during the national anthem, Hayes said: “I was definitely mouthing (it), and Naomi (Girma) and Lynn (Williams) could see that I was struggling with where to be and all that. “I got to the end of the anthems and I thought, ‘that’s so ridiculous. I’m proud to be English and I’m proud of our national anthem, and I’m also really proud to coach America’. “Two things are possible all at once. I don’t want to fuel a nationalist debate around it. The realities are both countries are really dear to me for lots of reasons, and I’m really proud to represent both of them.” The Lionesses did not register a shot on target in the first half but grew into the game in the second. US captain Lindsey Horan had the ball in the net after the break but the flag was up, while Hayes’ side had a penalty award for a handball reversed after a VAR check determined substitute Yazmeen Ryan’s shot hit Alex Greenwood’s chest. Hayes, who left Chelsea after 12 trophy-packed years this summer, said: “I’ve been privileged to coach a lot of top-level games, including here, so there’s a familiarity to being here for me. “It’s not new to me, and because of that there was a whole sense of I’m coming back to a place I know. I have a really healthy perspective, and I want to have a really healthy perspective on my profession. “I give everything I possibly can for a team that I really, really enjoy coaching, and I thrive, not just under pressure, but I like these opportunities, I like being in these situations. They bring out the best in me. “You’ve got two top teams now, Sarina is an amazing coach, I thought it was a good tactical match-up, and I just enjoy coaching a high-level football match, to be honest with you. I don’t think too much about it.” Hayes had travelled to London without her entire Olympic gold medal-winning ‘Triple Espresso’ forward line of Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith, all nursing niggling injuries. Before the match, the 48-year-old was spotted chatting with Wiegman and her US men’s counterpart, fellow ex-Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was also in attendance. England were also missing a number of key attackers for the friendly including Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Ella Toone, all ruled out with injury. "This shows where we are at and we need to keep improving. It is November now. This is good but we want to be better again. We have to be better again." 👊 Reaction from the boss ⬇️ — Lionesses (@Lionesses) November 30, 2024 Wiegman brushed aside suggestions from some pundits that her side were content to settle for a draw. She said: “I think we were really defending as a team, very strong. We got momentum in the second half, we did better, and of course both teams went for the win. “So many things happened in this game, also in front of the goal, so I don’t think it was boring. “We wanted to go for the win, but it was such a high-intensity game, you have to deal with a very good opponent, so you can’t just say, ‘Now we’re going to go and score that goal’. “We tried, of course, to do that. We didn’t slow down to keep it 0-0. I think that was just how the game went.”
