Karachi, November 10, 2025 – The KSE-100 index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) opened the week on a strong bullish note, surging 1,945 points on Monday.
The benchmark index closed at 161,537 points, up from last Friday’s close of 159,593 points.
Market analysts at Topline Securities Limited noted that the bulls made a strong comeback, pushing the KSE-100 to an intraday high of 2,288 points before settling at 161,538 — reflecting a 1.22% gain. The rally was driven by renewed investor confidence after the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) approved a comprehensive plan to settle inter-corporate circular debt.
The ECC’s approval of Rs660 billion in sovereign guarantees for Rs1.225 trillion in commercial loans and the decision to divert gas supplies to fertilizer plants fueled optimism across key sectors. This led to broad-based buying, particularly in index-heavy stocks such as ENGROH, FFC, EFERT, OGDC, and PPL, which collectively contributed 1,243 points to the benchmark. Conversely, PSEL, UBL, AGP, and MEBL trimmed 199 points.
Investor participation remained robust, although trading activity cooled slightly, with total volumes declining to 780 million shares and market turnover easing to Rs36.3 billion. FNEL emerged as the most actively traded stock, with 76.3 million shares changing hands.
Analysts expect the positive momentum to continue in the short term, supported by government measures to resolve circular debt and bolster investor confidence in Pakistan’s equity market.
