Karachi: Pakistani stocks edged up Tuesday but trade remained dull, while dealers said volume could improve after the start of the new fiscal year on July 1.
The Karachi Stock Exchange's (KSE) benchmark 100-share index ended 0.32 per cent, or 30.48 points, higher at 9,702.03.
Turnover was only 62.85 million shares, compared with 81.65 million shares traded on Monday.
"At the moment its very dull and not much is happening," said Sajid Bhanji, a director at Arif Habib Ltd., a local brokerage house.
"There is no interest in the market but I hope that investors would become more active in the new fiscal year," he said.
Pakistan's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Trade in the market has been dull in recent days amid uncertainties over the implementation of a new capital gains tax.
