Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed Saturday with another bullish session, with the PSX-100 index reaching an impressive 169,869 points. The benchmark index recorded a gain of 1,380 points compared to Thursday’s close of 168,489 points, while touching a one-day high of 169,941 points during intraday trading.
The sustained rise reflects investors’ growing confidence in the resilience of Pakistan’s equity market. According to experts, the rally was driven by a combination of policy reforms, encouraging economic data and positive corporate performance.
“Crossing the 169,000 level is not just a technical achievement but also a psychological boost for market participants,” noted a financial researcher. “This reflects strong liquidity and the belief that Pakistan’s economy is gradually moving towards stability.”
Despite the near-upbeat sentiment, analysts advise cautious optimism, highlighting the need to monitor external pressures such as global commodity prices and regional economic developments. Still, the prevailing sentiment on the trading floor is optimistic, suggesting that the momentum could continue in the coming days.
