Karachi, November 26, 2025 – Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a powerful rebound on Wednesday as the benchmark KSE-100 index surged by 1,496 points, driven mainly by aggressive institutional buying across key sectors.
The index closed at 163,188 points, sharply higher than Tuesday’s closing level of 161,692 points, reflecting renewed investor confidence amid improving market sentiment.
According to a market note issued by Topline Securities Limited, the KSE-100 Index maintained a strong upward trajectory throughout the session. The benchmark moved within a wide trading range, hitting an intraday high of 163,397 points and dipping to a low of 160,564 points. While the market initially opened with volatility, a consistent flow of institutional inflows in the latter half of the day helped the index recover quickly and sustain its momentum until closing.
Major index movers played a decisive role in Wednesday’s rally. Heavyweights including Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), Meezan Bank (MEBL), Habib Bank Limited (HBL), National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), and Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC) collectively added nearly 1,058 points to the KSE-100’s overall gain. Their strong performance reflected improving sectoral outlooks and contributed significantly to broad-based market participation.
Trading activity also picked up pace, with total market volume reaching 635 million shares. The daily turnover jumped to Rs 30 billion, indicating heightened investor interest. WorldCall Telecom Limited (WTL) dominated volume charts by trading 47 million shares, reaffirming its position as a frequent volume leader on the PSX.
Market analysts believe that if institutional flows continue, the benchmark index may maintain its upward direction in the coming sessions, provided macroeconomic indicators remain stable.
