Karachi, July 4, 2025 – The KSE-100 index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its record-breaking ascent on Friday, closing at a historic all-time high of 131,949 points, just shy of the symbolic 132,000 mark. This marks another milestone in the index’s impressive rally, fueled by institutional interest and renewed investor confidence.
The KSE-100 index posted a solid gain of 1,262 points, or 0.97%, compared to the previous day’s closing of 130,687 points. Market analysts view this performance as a continuation of the positive momentum that has defined recent trading sessions.
According to Nabeel Haroon, Vice President of International Equity Sales at Topline Securities Ltd., “The KSE-100 index largely remained in the green throughout the trading session, maintaining its upward trajectory in a record-breaking trend. The optimism is mainly driven by institutional buying, particularly due to fresh allocations in equity funds, as reflected in the National Clearing Company data.”
Heavyweights such as UBL, HBL, Systems Limited (SYS), BAHL, MCB, NBP, and Meezan Bank (MEBL) played a crucial role in powering the index upward. These key contributors collectively added 1,289 points to the day’s rally, demonstrating strong investor interest in the banking and technology sectors.
On the corporate front, SAZEW (Sazgar Engineering Works) announced a remarkable rise in sales, reporting 1,349 four-wheeler units sold in June 2025, marking a 47% month-on-month increase and a 2.55x surge year-on-year. For the full fiscal year 2024–25, total sales rose to 10,844 units, a twofold increase, further boosting investor sentiment.
In terms of trading activity, the day saw robust participation with 731 million shares changing hands and a traded value of PKR 34.9 billion. Top traded stocks by value included TRG (PKR 1.22 billion), UBL (PKR 1.21 billion), PSO (PKR 1.09 billion), NBP (PKR 1.07 billion), and SAZEW (PKR 1.05 billion), reflecting investor interest across banking, oil, and auto sectors.
With this record-breaking performance, the KSE-100 index has now entered uncharted territory, signaling strong bullish sentiment. Analysts believe that if the current momentum continues, the index may soon breach the 132,000 mark, extending its record-breaking rally even further and solidifying PSX’s position as a top-performing regional market.
