Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached a new milestone on Tuesday, with its benchmark KSE-100 Index surging past the 186,000-point mark for the first time in history, reflecting strong investor confidence and sustained buying momentum.
Market analysts attributed the rally to improved macroeconomic indicators, expectations of policy stability, and renewed interest in key sectors including banking, energy, and cement. Positive sentiment was further supported by signs of easing inflationary pressure, relative stability in foreign exchange reserves, and optimism over ongoing economic reforms.
Trading activity remained robust throughout the session, with volumes rising sharply and market capitalization recording a significant increase. Analysts cautioned, however, that while the outlook remains positive, investors should remain watchful of global financial developments and domestic political dynamics that could influence market direction.
The record-breaking performance is being seen as a major vote of confidence in Pakistan’s capital markets, sending a strong signal to both local and international investors about improving market fundamentals.
