As geopolitical tensions rise between the two nations, investor sentiment has taken sharply divergent paths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"843\">Pakistan\u2019s stock market took a significant hit, with the KSE-100 index dropping nearly 4% between April 23 and May 5. The steep fall reflects growing concerns among investors about the possibility of military escalation, especially after reports that the attackers were linked to Pakistan-based militant groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1070\">In stark contrast, India\u2019s stock market has remained resilient.
