Although a few stocks like HCAR, ATRL, TREET and NRL remained under pressure, their impact on the overall market trend was negligible.
According to business experts, if investor-friendly measures are introduced in the Budget 2026-27, the Pakistan Stock Exchange could touch more record levels in the coming days.
