Pakistan Stock Exchange Crosses 85,000 Mark

Benchmark KSE-100 index surges by 500 points, rising to all-time high of 85,410 points

Karachi-Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has made history by crossing the 85,000-point mark for the first time ever. The benchmark KSE-100 index saw a significant surge of 500 points on Tuesday morning, reaching an all-time high of 85,410 points. And that’s not all – by noon, the index had further risen by 804 points to a record-breaking 85,714 points.

This historic rise reflects growing investor confidence and highlights the resilience of the Pakistani economy despite global economic challenges.

Later around noon, the KSE-100 Index further rose 804 points to a record high of 85,714 points.

Market analysts attribute this rally to several factors, including improved investor sentiment, stable macroeconomic indicators, and positive developments in sectors such as banking, energy, and technology. Additionally, the government’s recent economic reforms and measures to stabilize the rupee have contributed to the market’s strong performance.

Last week also, the PSX set a new record, crossing the 83,000-point mark for the first time in history. The market surged by 282 points in Friday’s trading session, reaching 83,003 points.

The PSX’s steady climb in recent months had been fuelled by favourable economic policies and robust corporate earnings, positioning the stock exchange as a key player in the region’s financial markets.
