Bourse ends positive territory

Bourse ended in the positive territory for the second consecutive session with the upside potential being limited by the price dip in CTC.

Later the buying interest in JKH and selective banking counters resulted in the index reaching its intraday high of 5,106 during mid-day before witnessing a downtrend during the final hours of trading and closing at 5,082 gaining 6 points.
