01What's new — Pakistan
- NEW · FuelGovernment cut petrol by Rs3 to Rs332/litre and high-speed diesel by Rs4 to Rs360/litre, effective today (Fri 13 Nov) — the second cut in two days (petrol −Rs6, diesel −Rs11 cumulative, per Daily Pakistan). This supersedes the Rs335 petrol figure in the 07:00 brief. Mildly helpful for transport costs and the CPI path; OMCs may face inventory losses (desk view).

03Pre-open pulse
KSE-100 previous close 177,373.76 (−1,710.04, −0.95%) · 155 up / 316 down · 1.07bn shares, Rs31.6bn (ARY · The Nation · BR · V). Expected opening tone (desk view): flat to slightly firmer. Asia's rebound, firmer US futures and lower fuel prices argue for a steadier start after Thursday's 0.95% drop, but Thursday's close sits about 945 points below the pivot, breadth was weak (155 up / 316 down) and the 180,300 area has rejected twice. Brent near $95 and a 5.14% US 10-year limit follow-through. Friday's session is shorter (Jumma break — confirm timings on PSX).
Mood: Cautious — Asia's chip rebound and today's Rs3 petrol cut support the open, but the KSE-100 starts below its 178,319 pivot after a second failure near 180,300, and Brent near $95 with a 5.14% US 10-year caps risk appetite.
