KSE-100 crashes over 12,000 points as region reels from Iran-Israel conflict

Pakistan’s benchmark index, KSE-100, crashed by over 12,000 points by 10:28am on Monday.

The index fell 12,334.88 points from its previous close of 168,062.16 points, marking a fall of 7.34 per cent.

This comes as reigonal geopolitical tensions spiked over the weekend as the United States and Israel on Saturday launched what they described as a “pre-emptive” joint strike against Iran, with President Trump announcing the start of “major combat operations”.

The tensions have caused Brent crude to jump 10 per cent to about $80 a barrel over the counter on Sunday, oil traders said, while analysts predicted that prices could climb as high as $100.

Oil jumps 10pc on Iran conflict and could spike to $100 a barrel, analysts say
