Karachi, September 23, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a positive trading session on Tuesday as the benchmark KSE-100 index advanced by 390 points despite persistent rollover pressure.
The index closed at 157,945 points, compared to the previous day’s closing of 157,555 points, reflecting renewed investor interest in select sectors.
According to analysts at Topline Securities Limited, the KSE-100 index experienced significant volatility throughout the session. The benchmark touched an intraday high of 158,831 points and dipped to a low of 157,416 before finally closing higher. Gains were primarily driven by strong performance in United Bank Limited (UBL), Bestway Cement Limited (BWCL), and Bank AL Habib Limited (BAHL), which collectively added 432 points to the index.
On the flip side, heavyweights such as Lucky Cement (LUCK), Meezan Bank Limited (MEBL), Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), and Bank of Punjab (BOP) together shaved off 255 points. Despite these losses, the KSE-100 index managed to sustain its upward trajectory.
Investor activity also remained robust, with total traded volume climbing to 1,518 million shares, while the overall market turnover reached Rs. 58.6 billion. Analysts noted that the rollover week typically creates short-term selling pressure, but the resilience of the index indicates positive sentiment among investors who continue to anticipate further gains in the coming sessions.
