Karachi, February 2, 2026 – The KSE-100 index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) rose by 883 points on Monday, closing at 185,057 points, up from last Friday’s close of 184,174 points, amid a volatile trading session.
According to analysts at Topline Securities Limited, the local bourse experienced a seesaw session, balancing cautious holds with selective buying. The index fell to an intraday low of 1,382 points in the morning before recovering sharply to an intraday high of 883 points, reflecting improved sentiment in the latter half of the day.
Support came from select index-heavy stocks including UBL, ENGROH, SYS, and FATIMA, which collectively contributed 753 points to the benchmark. However, selling pressure in FFC, LUCK, HBL, INDU, and AICL reduced gains, subtracting 416 points from the index.

Analysts noted that despite early volatility, investor confidence improved toward the close, supported by selective buying in key sectors. The session highlights the resilient performance of the PSX amid fluctuating market conditions and underscores the importance of monitoring index-heavy stocks for overall market trends.
