The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) resumed trading operations on Monday after a two-hour suspension caused by a fire at the main building in Karachi.
According to reports, the fire broke out on the fourth floor of the building, but it was successfully put out, and no casualties were reported.
The fire led to the temporary suspension of trading activities, with the PSX announcing that trading would resume once the situation was brought under control.
Employees were evacuated from the building as a precautionary measure, but were allowed to return to their offices once the fire was extinguished.
Despite the disruption, the market showed resilience, with the benchmark KSE-100 index gaining ground after trading resumed. The incident highlights the importance of fire safety measures and emergency preparedness in critical infrastructure like the PSX.
