The bearish trend continued in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) shares as uncertainty prevailed on the IMF deal and possible financial assistance from friendly and brotherly countries.

Opposition economists blamed the government for not announcing the market oriented policies to bring stability and positivity in the market investors at PSX.

The government Sunday stuck to its decision of not increasing the petroleum products prices but Finance Minister Miftah Ismael indicated that the subsidy on POL prices be revised at an appropriate time.

People are having the bitter fruit of record inflation as the government has been trying to take measures to control the sprawling inflated prices of essential commodities.
