As reported, Karachi Stock Exchange’s benchmark 100-index witnessed a decrease of 1,600 points due to political instability and a delay in talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Experts suggest that the country’s stock market was under pressure due to the depletion of foreign reserves.

On the other hand, the US dollar continued its flight towards record levels against the rupee.
