With the KMI-30 index closing down by 0.66% on January 15, retail and institutional investors are weighing their next moves. The index, which tracks the 30 most liquid Shariah-compliant companies, has shown a volatile start to the second half of January 2026.

​According to the latest Market Wrap, the index is currently trading well above its previous lows, supported by a strong 37.57% FYTD growth. However, the “Change in Points” indicator shows a significant -1,686.68 movement today, highlighting the impact of heavyweights like ENGROH and Systems Ltd on the Islamic index.

Key Metrics for Investors:

  • Current Close: 254,342.99
  • Daily Low: 252,934.99 (potential support level)
  • Total Volume: 110.75 Mn (Index Constituents)

​Financial experts advise caution but note that the Oil and Gas sector (OGDC & PPL) remains a bright spot. For those looking at the “CYTD” (Calendar Year to Date) return of 2.34%, the current dip might offer an entry point into high-performing Shariah-compliant stocks that have recently undergone a price correction.
