The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a robust recovery as the benchmark KSE-100 index surged by 1,827 points during the trading week, closing at 141,034 points. This significant uptick reflects renewed investor confidence driven by stabilizing economic indicators and improved market sentiment. Trading volumes reached 2.80 billion shares, with a total value exceeding Rs 179 billion, signaling strong participation from both institutional and retail investors.

Market analysts attribute this bullish trend to multiple factors, including currency stability, easing political uncertainty, and positive macroeconomic signals. The index fluctuated within a 3,524-point range, peaking at 141,160 points, indicating optimistic expectations for the coming weeks. Additionally, market capitalization expanded by Rs 218 billion, underscoring growing investor appetite for Pakistani equities amid improving econ

omic conditions.

Sector-wise performance showed broad-based gains, with banking, energy, and cement stocks leading the rally. Experts suggest that the recent monetary policy stance, coupled with declining inflation, has created a favorable environment for capital markets. Foreign investors also displayed cautious interest, though local funds remained the primary drivers of this upward momentum. The trading week’s robust activity demonstrates that market participants are responding positively to fiscal and monetary measures implemented in recent months.

The PSX’s strong performance marks a promising turnaround after months of volatility. If economic stability persists, this rally could signal the beginning of a sustained bull run. However, analysts caution that maintaining this momentum will require consistent policy reforms and continued macroeconomic improvements. For now, the resurgence at the bourse offers a much-needed boost to investor morale, proving that Pakistan’s capital markets still hold significant potential for growth-oriented investors.
