ISLAMABAD: The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) rebounded slightly on Monday, with investors picking up cheaper shares after the market fall sharply on Friday, dealers said.

The Karachi Stock Exchange benchmark 100-share index rose by 0.32 per cent, or 42.76 points, to close at 13,601.46 points on volume of 44.8 million shares.
