Monday saw record highs for the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), as the benchmark KSE-100 Index broke above the 94,000 point mark in the face of robust positive tendencies.

Beginning the week on a strong note, the stock market reached a series of record highs during the trading session.

After rising 408 points to 93,700, the KSE-100 Index continued to rise 551 points, reaching 93,845. Just a short while after that, the index jumped another 728 points, breaking all previous PSX records and reaching 94,020 points.

Since the beginning of the trading week, Pakistan’s market has demonstrated sustained rise, reflecting restored investor confidence. This surge is a reflection of that. Market optimism, improved economic data, and heightened interest from both domestic and international investors are all elements that analysts say are driving the upbeat attitude.

On Friday, the KSE-100 index soared 480 points, reaching a record high of 93,001 points, marking the first occasion in PSX history that the index had pushed above the 93,000-point milestone.

According to economists, the market is booming because investors are looking forward to Pakistan’s higher economic grade and reforms. An early 250-point increase propelled the 100 index to 92,770 points, the session high before the day’s top. The prior day’s market close was at 92,520 points.

At 98,164.24 points, the benchmark KSE-100 Index is just 1,800 points away from the much-anticipated 100,000 level and is approaching a historic milestone.

Favorable macroeconomic indicators and high investor confidence have propelled the index’s bullish momentum as of 9:47 a.m. today.

The KSE-100 had a significant increase of 469.84 points, or 0.48%, on Friday, closing at 97,798.23 points. Market optimism was indicated by the index’s quick spike to an intraday high of 99,623.03 points.

Analysts have increased their estimates, predicting that by the end of 2025, the KSE-100 might rise to 120,000. Continued improvements in macroeconomic conditions, such as declining bond yields, are anticipated to be the main drivers of this spike since they are bringing more liquidity to the equities market.

Following the drop in bond yields, mutual funds have made about $132 million in investments in Pakistani stocks since January 2024. This influx of funds is considered a favorable indicator of investor sentiment.

The market has also risen as a result of the State Bank of Pakistan’s decision to reduce interest rates by a total of 700 basis points, from 22% in May 2024 to 15% now.

The All-Share Index, which measures the overall market, also showed robust gains. With a net increase of 280.51 points, or 0.44%, it was at 62,376.87 points. Expectations of additional growth in the equity market are being bolstered by this encouraging trend.
