The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) maintained its bullish momentum for the third consecutive week, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index posting a notable gain of 2,350 points during the outgoing business week.
The index closed the week at 134,299 points, rising from the previous week’s close amid sustained investor confidence and improving macroeconomic indicators.
According to market data, the benchmark index moved within a range of 2,605 points over the course of the week, recording an intra-week low of 132,326 points and a high of 134,931 points.
During the five-session week, trading activity remained robust. A total of 4.73 billion shares changed hands on the bourse, with the cumulative value of traded shares amounting to Rs194 billion.
Market capitalisation also saw a substantial increase, climbing by Rs377 billion to reach Rs16,288 billion by the end of the week.
Analysts attribute the continued upward trend to growing investor optimism over economic stability, improved corporate earnings, and expectations of monetary easing in the coming months. The stable exchange rate and government-led reforms have further bolstered sentiment across key sectors.
While the bullish trend has helped the KSE-100 inch closer to new all-time highs, market observers caution that any reversal in global economic outlook or domestic political uncertainty could weigh on sentiment going forward.
