Pakistan in BIG trouble after India implements strong measures to avenge Pahalgam terror attack, country suffers loss of 700000000000 in…, stock exchange to…
India Pakistan
New Delhi: The terror attack in Pahalgam, carried out by Pakistan-backed terrorists targeting innocent tourists, has drawn global condemnation. In response to this cowardly act, the Modi government has implemented a slew of measures aimed at holding Pakistan accountable. Without crossing any borders, India has managed to inflict a significant economic blow on the already struggling Pakistani economy. According to the reports, Pakistan's stock market has taken a severe hit due to India's countermeasures. The Pakistani stock market reportedly suffered a loss of nearly Rs 70,000 crore. The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) has dropped more than 4.5 percent, and on Tuesday alone, the KSE-100 index fell by over 1,100 points.
In contrast, India's stock markets have shown an upward trend, with the Sensex gaining around 1,100 points since the 22nd of the month. Let's take a look at the numbers currently coming out of the Karachi Stock Exchange. Decline for Second Consecutive Day
Pakistan's stock market continues to decline for the second consecutive day. The main index of the Pakistan Stock Market, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE-100), was trading at 114,007.40 points at 1:40 PM, down by 100 points. Notably, during the trading session, the KSE-100 had dropped as much as 1130.78 points to reach 112,935.57. A day earlier as well, the KSE-100 had seen a decline. At one point, the KSE was trading positively, but after reaching the day's peak, the Karachi Stock Exchange closed with a fall of more than one percent. Experts believe that rising tensions between India and Pakistan are contributing to the decline in Pakistan's stock market. Big Drop After April 22
It is important to note that after April 22, Pakistan's stock market witnessed a steep decline in four out of the last five trading sessions. According to data, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) closed at 118,430.35 points on April 22. Following that, the market declined on April 23 and 24. There was a rise in the KSE-100 index on April 25, but the last two trading days again saw declines. Since April 22, the KSE has fallen by 5,494.78 points — a drop of 4.63 percent. According to experts, Pakistan's stock market may see further decline. Pakistan suffers Rs 70,000 crore blow
Over the past week—or more specifically, following the Pahalgam attack—Pakistan's stock market has taken a significant hit. On April 22, the market capitalization of the Karachi Stock Exchange stood at $52.84 billion. However, by April 29, after the KSE-100 index hit a lower level, it had dropped to USD 50.39 billion. This means the Pakistani stock market lost approximately USD 2.45 billion during this period. When converted to Pakistani rupees, this equates to a loss of nearly Rs 70,000 crore.

RBI buyback sees strong demand with bids doubling notified amount
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received bids Rs 53,031 crore against the notified amount of Rs 26,000 crore at the second buyback auction of this fiscal year. At the auction held on Thursday, the central bank accepted 99% of the notified amount. ADVERTISEMENT At the first buyback held last week, the RBI received bids worth Rs 27,256 crore, of which the central bank accepted Rs 23,856 crore or 95% of the notified amount, data showed. Buybacks are a way for the government to pay off debt for next fiscal year to reduce its gross borrowing. It also results in RBI infusing durable liquidity into the system. The RBI bought back five government bonds maturing in 2026 at Thursday's auction. The 5.63% 2026 government bond saw the highest demand with bids received at Rs 26,616 crore. Of this, the central bank accepted Rs17,402 crore. 'The strong demand at the buyback auction indicates that banks may have taken this opportunity to lighten their HTM book, especially because there are no OMOs on the horizon,' said Rajeev Pawar, head of treasury at Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. 'In a buyback, banks get to sell short-term bonds and replace them with longer maturity papers and lock-in yields. Further buyback auctions will depend on how the government spending pans out and on evolving liquidity conditions.' ADVERTISEMENT Bonds maturing in FY27 are more than double versus this year at Rs 6.48 lakh crore and are consistently high until 2032. The government has also budgeted Rs 2.5 lakh crore for bond switches this year, 60% more than the previous a bond switch, the government replaces bonds maturing in the near term with long-term debt. The RBI, on behalf of the government, is scheduled to conduct an auction on Monday to switch government securities worth Rs 25,000 crore. It will conduct the auction to switch nine government bonds maturing between 2026 and 2029 for papers with maturity between 2032 and 2062.
