Karachi, July 7, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed another bullish session on Monday as the benchmark KSE-100 index surged during intraday trading, moving closer to the historic 134,000 milestone. This upward momentum continues to reflect strong investor sentiment and confidence in Pakistan’s capital markets.
By 12:35 PM, the KSE-100 index was seen hovering around 133,810.46 points, posting a robust gain of 1,861.40 points or 1.41% compared to the previous close. Market participants remain upbeat amid expectations of economic stabilization and corporate earnings growth in key sectors.
The start of fiscal year 2026 has been nothing short of remarkable for the PSX. The index recently smashed through the 130,000 barrier for the first time in its history. The previous week had already set a strong tone, with the KSE-100 index closing at 131,949 — a week-on-week gain of 6.1%.
During Monday’s trading, buying pressure was seen across major sectors including oil and gas exploration, commercial banking, automobile assemblers, and refinery stocks. Notably, index-heavy players like HUBCO, ARL, PSO, EFERT, MCB, UBL, and MEBL remained firmly in the green, further boosting overall market direction.
The KSE-100 index has been a top performer in the past fiscal year, delivering a stellar return of over 60.15%, outperforming all other domestic asset classes. This impressive rally has drawn renewed interest from both local and foreign investors, with volumes rising and trading activity intensifying across the board.
Market analysts attribute this sustained rally to a combination of factors: improved macroeconomic outlook, falling inflation, better fiscal discipline, and government initiatives aimed at revitalizing the capital market. Strong corporate results and rising foreign exchange reserves have also added to the investor confidence.
As trading continues into the second half of the day, all eyes are on whether the KSE-100 index will break past the symbolic 134,000 level — a milestone that would further solidify the PSX’s standing as one of the best-performing markets in the region.
