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)
 
* MCB Bank is scheduled to announce its results for six months ending June 30 on Thursday.
 
MARKET SNAPSHOTS
 
* The rupee <PKR=> ended at 85.74/80 to the dollar on Tuesday, compared with Monday's close of 85.77/84. Dealers said the rupee could come under pressure this week because of higher demand for dollars for import payments.
 
* The KSE's benchmark 100-share index <.KSE>, rose 0.15 percent, or 15.11 points, to end at 10,388.64 points. [.KA]
 
* The net inflow of foreign portfolio investment in the stock market was $1.95 million on Tuesday.
 
* U.S. stocks slipped on Tuesday as Dow component Procter & Gamble Co.'s <PG.N> lackluster results, coupled with weaker-than-estimated data on consumer spending and housing, prompted investors to exercise caution a day after the market's 2 percent rally.
 
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> dropped 38.00 points, or 0.36 percent, to 10,636.38. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> shed 5.40 points, or 0.48 percent, to 1,120.46. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> lost 11.84 points, or 0.52 percent, to 2,283.52. [.N]
 
* Oil fell for the first day in five on Wednesday as a rally that drove prices to three-month highs near $83 a day earlier ran out of steam, while industry data showed U.S. gasoline stockpiles rose unexpectedly last week.
 
U.S. crude for September <CLc1> fell as much as 41 cents to $82.14 a barrel and was down 16 cents at $82.39 by 0243 GMT, after touching $82.64 on Tuesday, the highest intraday price for a front-month contract since May 5. [O/R]
