Following positive remarks made by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) team during its just-completed visit, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued to see bulls’ rise.

The benchmark KSE-100 index gained 813.04 points on Tuesday and was currently trading at 95,808.71 points.

Increased purchasing was observed in a number of industries, including power generation, cement, commercial banks, oil and gas exploration firms, OMCs, and pharmaceuticals.

HUBCO, PSO, SBGPL, MARI, OGDC, PPL, MEBL, and MCB were among the index-heavy stocks that saw a financial bonanza.

A number of variables are thought to be responsible for the market’s ongoing bullish momentum, chief among them being Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s refutation of press reports about the potential for a mini-budget.

Investor confidence was also bolstered by an increase in Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves.

The benchmark KSE-100 index finished Monday at 94,995 points, so keep that in mind.

On Tuesday, the price of gold in Pakistan, which mirrors a surge in the international market, experienced a large increase. As per the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola experienced a significant increase of Rs3,600, ultimately reaching Rs273,500.

The price of ten grammes of gold increased by Rs3,086, reaching a final level of Rs234,482 in a similar fashion. On Monday, the price of one tola of gold hit Rs269,900, which was a gain of Rs2,500. The increase in gold prices occurred the day after that, on Tuesday.

As a result of the rise in international gold rates, the local gold prices have also been on an increasing trend. The price of one ounce of gold on the global market hit $2,623 on Tuesday, representing a $36 gain from the previous day for the price. In addition, the APGJSA observed that the worldwide price was increased by twenty dollars.

The price of silver has stayed steady at Rs3,250 per tola, despite the fact that gold prices have been on the rise.

Over the course of the past several months, the price of gold in Pakistan has significantly increased, reaching an all-time high of Rs287,900 per tola in the month of October. As a result of a weakening of the United States dollar and widespread anticipation over impending announcements from officials of the Federal Reserve regarding future interest rate adjustments, the foreign market also experienced a lift on Tuesday.

After a 2% increase on Monday, spot gold reached its highest level since November 12 at $2,623.54 per ounce, showing a 0.4% increase. This marks the highest level since November 12.

For the first time ever, the benchmark KSE-100 Index has surpassed 95,000 points, marking a historic milestone for the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).

The KSE-100 Index reached a record high of 95,874 points on Monday, up 878 points. Strong investor optimism, fuelled by upbeat market sentiment and good economic statistics, is reflected in the surge.

Strong company profitability, foreign investment inflows, and optimism about the nation’s economic policies are some of the elements that market analysts attribute to this surge. Restoring the 95,000-point barrier is seen as a major turning event in the history of the PSX.

An important indicator of Pakistan’s economic progress and investor confidence, the PSX’s position is strengthened by this development. A notable increase in trading volumes also suggested that investors were becoming more active in the market.

The new record is anticipated to improve the overall economic picture by drawing in more foreign and domestic investment.
