Karachi- The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a significant rally on the last day of the business week, where the PSX-100 index increased by 2,627 points and the index closed at 113,954 points. The index also hit a high of 114,250 points during the trade.
According to experts, this acceleration is due to efforts to reduce tensions between Pakistan and India at the international level, a 0.3 percent annual decline in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April 2025, and the expected receipt of a $1 billion installment from the IMF.
The market had witnessed a severe downturn after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, but the current boom has restored investors’ confidence.
According to Bloomberg, analysts believe that the PSX-100 index could increase by at least 27% by December 2025, which would take it to 127,000 points.
