Karachi, July 1, 2025 – In a spectacular start to the new fiscal year, the KSE-100 index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) shattered previous records, surging by 2,572 points on Tuesday to close at an all-time high of 128,199 points, setting the tone for what investors hope will be a bullish FY2025-26.
Opening with explosive momentum, the KSE-100 index soared to an intraday gain of 2,848 points before easing slightly and closing at 128,199 points, up from the previous day’s 125,629. This marks a powerful 2.05% single-day rally, igniting confidence across Pakistan’s capital markets.
According to analysts at Topline Securities Limited, the KSE-100 index “rung in the new fiscal year with a bang.” The biggest contributor to this remarkable performance was Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), which alone added 565 points to the index following a bullish report that significantly lifted investor sentiment around the stock.
Banking sector stocks lit up the board, as major players — including UBL, MEBL, MCB, HBL, and BAHL — jointly contributed a staggering 1,221 points to the KSE-100 index, reflecting strong institutional buying and sectoral confidence in financials amid macroeconomic stability.
On the downside, cement stocks buckled under pressure due to profit-taking, fueled by weaker local dispatch data shared in the latest market commentary by Topline Securities. Despite this sector-specific pullback, overall market activity remained electric.
Trading volumes soared past 1.02 billion shares, while total traded value hit an impressive PKR 43.8 billion — a clear indicator of resurgent investor enthusiasm. KOSM led the charge on the volumes chart, trading 84.9 million shares, further boosting overall activity.
This remarkable points rally and renewed optimism around the KSE-100 index signal a shift in market sentiment as Pakistan steps into FY26. If momentum continues, the KSE-100 index could be poised for even more record-breaking points gains, making it the star performer of the region.
