Karachi, September 4, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed another bullish session on Thursday as the benchmark KSE-100 index extended its upward rally, closing at a record level of 152,666 points.
The index gained 464 points compared to the previous day’s closing of 152,202, highlighting strong investor confidence.
Throughout the session, the KSE-100 index maintained remarkable momentum, climbing as much as 1,209 points during intraday trading before settling with net gains of 0.30 percent. Market analysts attributed this consistent rally to improved macroeconomic indicators, strong corporate earnings, and renewed buying interest across key sectors.
Significant contributions to the index came from major players such as Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), Lucky Cement (LUCK), Systems Limited (SYS), Mari Petroleum (MARI), and Askari Bank Limited (AKBL). Together, these stocks added 484 points to the day’s performance, underscoring the diversified strength across industries.

The Bank of Punjab (BOP) dominated the volume chart, with an impressive 99 million shares changing hands, reflecting sustained retail and institutional investor interest.
Market experts suggest that the current rally in the KSE-100 index is being fueled by optimism over economic stability, a strengthening rupee, and improved liquidity in the financial sector. If these positive trends persist, the index could see further upward movement in the coming weeks, solidifying its position as a barometer of investor sentiment in Pakistan.
