Pakistan stock market crash: Trading suspended after KSE-100 index plummets by 8,600 points

Trading at the Pakistan Stock Exchange was halted for an hour as the KSE-100 index plunged over 8,000 points, driven by US tariffs and fears of a global recession. Despite the halt, the PSX saw an additional 2,000-point drop, closing at 114,909.48 points, down 3.27%. Analysts attribute the sharp decline to panic selling amid economic uncertainty.
