Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Singapore Asia Pacific World Pakistani stocks end slighly higher; rupee weakens Reuters - Tuesday, March 1 Send IM Story Print KARACHI, Feb 28 - Pakistani stocks recovered slightly on Monday after falling to a near three-month low the previous trading session, although investors remained cautious about U.S-Pakistan relations, dealers said. The Karachi Stock Exchange's benchmark 100-share index ended 0.59 percent, or 65.70 points, higher at 11,289.22, recovering from its lowest close since Dec. 1, on turnover of 86.23 million shares. "Investors accumulated shares in an oversold market, however investors are still cautious on concerns for Pakistan and U.S ties on the unresolved Raymond Davis case," said Ahsan Mehanti, director at Arif Habib Investments Ltd. Davis, a CIA contractor, is being held in prison after shooting dead two Pakistanis in the city of Lahore last month in what he said was an attempted robbery. The United States says Davis is protected by diplomatic immunity, while Pakistan says the courts must decide. The case has inflamed anti-American sentiment in Pakistan. Dealers said investors also feared foreign selling due to the global sell-off in equity markets following the crisis in Libya. The Karachi Stock Exchange has a small market capitalisation and the selling of only $2 million to $3 million amid a lack of buyers could spark a sell off or large percentage swing, analysts said. Dealers said there was also political uncertainty regarding a possible increase in local fuel prices expected to be announced later in the day. Pakistan's government bowed to political pressure last month and reversed a decision to increase fuel prices, a move likely to further widen the country's budget deficit. It has kept the fuel prices unchanged since November 2010. Meanwhile, the rupee ended weaker at 85.67/71 to the dollar, compared with Friday's close of 85.55/60 because of rising international oil prices. Dealers expect pressure to continue on the local unit. In the money market, overnight rates ended lower at between 12.50 percent and 13 percent, compared with Saturday's close of 13.25 percent amid increased liquidity in the interbank market.
