KARACHI, Oct 9: The KSE-100 index on Wednesday hit its three-year high level of 2,100.50 points as bulls were not inclined to take a technical breather ahead of the national elections.

But stray selling at the end of the session allowed it to finish with a clipped gain of 31.97 points at 2,098.96.

The market capital soared to over Rs480 billion as all the leading base shares were traded higher under the lead of PTCL, Hub-Power and PSO.
