Pakistan’s stock market has set a new benchmark, with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closing at its highest-ever level on Thursday, reflecting growing investor confidence and strong market momentum across key sectors.
After gaining over 10,000 points in recent days, the KSE-100 Index continued its upward trajectory, adding another 1,425 points on Thursday alone, and closing at an unprecedented 119,962 points.
“This isn’t just a rebound—it’s a historic moment for the market,” said Ahsan Mehanti, stock market analyst.
The trading session saw widespread buying interest, particularly in the information technology, refinery, and cement sectors. These shares were highly sought after, propelling the index upward throughout the day.
According to analysts, this surge is partly attributed to the recent ceasefire, which has restored a sense of stability and optimism in the market. Since the truce, the PSX has gained over 16,000 points in just four sessions—a dramatic and rare climb in such a short period.
“This kind of rally shows renewed trust in the economy and strong institutional support,” said Zafar Motiwala, former PSX director.
