(Reuters News welcomes your feedback and for any queries please contact Chris Allbritton in Islamabad editorial on +92-51 281 0017 or via email at chris.allbritton@thomsonreuters.com or on Reuters messaging chris.allbritton.reuters.com@reuters.net) WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PAKISTAN, ALL TIMES LOCAL FOLLOWED BY GMT: (The inclusion of diary items does not necessarily mean that Reuters will cover the event) * State Bank of Pakistan is due to release foreign investment data for February on or after Monday. MARKET SNAPSHOTS * The rupee <PKR=> ended firmer at 84.25/35 to the dollar compared with Wednesday's close of 84.50/55. There were few import payments in the market, and portfolio inflows had provided support over recent days, dealers said. [PKR/] * Stocks rose almost 1 percent on Thursday to more than a two-week closing high on buying by foreign investors and a lower than expected rise in inflation, dealers said. The Karachi Stock Exchange's benchmark 100-share index <.KSE> was 94.72 points, or 0.97 percent, higher at 9,879.70 points on turnover of 175.72 million shares.[.KA] * The net inflow of foreign portfolio investment in the stock market was $5.98 million on Thursday. [http://www.nccpl.com.pk/fipi-new/index.php] * The S&P 500 hit a 17-month closing high as rising bank shares led a late rally that lifted U.S stocks on Thursday, more than offsetting worries China may move to cool its overheating economy. The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> gained 44.51 points, or 0.42 percent, to end at 10,611.84. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> rose 4.63 points, or 0.40 percent, to 1,150.24. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> added 9.51 points, or 0.40 percent, to 2,368.46. [.N] * Oil was steady above $82 on Friday, poised for a second consecutive weekly increase, on views that energy demand will continue to grow despite any efforts by China to tighten monetary policy further on rising inflation. The front-month U.S. crude contract <CLc1> rose 8 cents to $82.19 a barrel at 0302 GMT. It hit $83.03 on Wednesday, the highest intra-day price since Jan 11, when oil hit a 15-month high of $83.95. [O/R] * Gold steadied on Friday as the dollar slipped against the euro on worries the U.S. retail sales for February could show a drop in consumer spending, denting prospects of a sustainable economic recovery. Spot gold <XAU=> hit an intraday high of $1,111.40 an ounce and was at $1,109.30 by 0237 GMT, unchanged New York's notional close on Thursday.
