Today, the Pakistan stock exchange (PSX) went deep into the red zone as the benchmark sheds 1,679 points.

The benchmark witnesses the record high during trade at 46,777 points that too within the first 30 minutes of the days start. Later it failed to carry forward the uptrend and witnesses the downward trajectory and touched down the day's lowest index at 44,823 points during the trade.
