Karachi, January 30, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a notable surge on Thursday, posting a 1.54% or 1,717 points gain, driven by robust corporate earnings and improved investor sentiment.

The session saw significant volatility, with the index initially dipping to an intraday low of 111,806 points before rebounding to a high of 113,401 points. The rally comes after three consecutive losing sessions, signaling renewed confidence among investors.
According to Topline Securities Limited, the PSX benefited from strong performances by key blue-chip stocks, including MARI, BAHL, LUCK, PSO, and HUBC, which collectively contributed 923 points to the index. Analysts believe that improved financial results from major companies, along with a stable economic outlook, played a crucial role in the market’s recovery.

Investor confidence in the Pakistan Stock Exchange PSX was further supported by expectations of continued earnings growth and a stable macroeconomic environment. Analysts suggest that if positive corporate performance persists, the PSX could maintain its upward momentum in the coming sessions. However, they also caution that external factors such as global market trends, commodity prices, and monetary policy decisions will continue to influence market direction.
Despite the recent recovery, traders remain watchful of future economic developments, particularly inflation trends and policy measures that may impact market liquidity. For now, the PSX appears to be benefiting from strong earnings releases, leading to a renewed bullish sentiment among investors.
