The Chai Tattle - 16th July 2026

Some of the panic from yesterday subsided in the markets as government announced plans to deal with the situation in Balochistan and even as missiles flew across the middle east. However, trading was reduced from yesterday, but the market gives an inaccurate picture as the indices declined in value but more equities closed in the green and the weighted mean on many sectors were highly positive.

This can be observed in the liquidity and distribution profile of the market where losses are small but marginally higher peaks are observed for positive returns that get more pronounced further away form parity.
