By Hamid Mehmood ISLAMABAD, April 05 (INP-WealthPK): The market had an exciting last week (March 28-April 1), as both the government and the opposition attempted to rally support in the wake of the vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Imran Khan. Financial experts feel the market has essentially absorbed the aforementioned, which, together with a drop in international oil and coal prices has re-energized the bulls as inflation fears fade. Despite some swaying in the minority party support in the middle of the week, the market concluded at 45,152 points, up 1,600.97 points (or 3.67%) according to WealthPK research. The All-Shares Index (995.55), the KSE 30 Index (580.81), and the KMI 30 Index (3148.68) all rose in value on a week-on-week basis.
