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.
