Karachi, April 16, 2026 — The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its upward trajectory on Thursday, the fourth trading day of the week, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index gaining 1,770 points to reach 170,290 points.
During the session, the index touched an intraday high of 170,899 points and a low of 170,006 points.
The KSE-100 Index had closed at 168,519 points on Wednesday, April 15, after gaining nearly 2,885 points (1.74%) in the previous session.
The ongoing rally is driven by strong buying interest in banking, automobile, cement, and oil & gas exploration sectors. Analysts attribute the positive sentiment to recent inflows from Saudi Arabia, expectations of macroeconomic stability, and improved investor confidence following diplomatic engagements in the region.
The market capitalization has also shown healthy growth amid sustained foreign and local institutional buying.
