For the first time in recent memory, the benchmark KSE-100 Index broke beyond the 102,000 point level, kicking off the new trading week on a high note for the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).

The index rose 835 points as of the morning session, hitting a new high of 102,192 points with an intraday peak of 102,288 points.

After a strong close to the previous week, when the index closed at 101,357 points, the PSX has continued its recent bullish performance with this upward trajectory.

Growing investor optimism has propelled the market’s rally, which has been supported by improved macroeconomic conditions, declining bond yields, and the ongoing flood of foreign capital into stocks.

The PSX has been strong because of a number of important elements. Since May 2024, the State Bank of Pakistan has lowered interest rates by a total of 700 basis points, which has improved market sentiment.

Mutual funds have invested more than $132 million in Pakistani stocks since January, indicating a move in investor preferences away from bonds and toward stocks.
