Karachi, July 7, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) soared to unprecedented highs on Monday, continuing its record-breaking rally that has captured investor confidence across sectors.
The benchmark KSE-100 Index surged by a massive 1,421 points, closing at an all-time high of 133,370 points—up from Friday’s closing level of 131,949.
This remarkable rise represents a 1.08% increase, as investor sentiment remained overwhelmingly bullish throughout the trading session. According to Naveed Nadeem, Senior Equity Trader at Topline Securities Limited, the index hit an intraday high of 133,862 points, demonstrating the market’s upward momentum and investor appetite for growth-driven sectors.
“The PSX rally was led by strong gains in the banking sector,” Nadeem noted. “Investors are positioning ahead of robust earnings reports and dividend announcements expected for the June quarter. This confidence is pushing the index to fresh highs almost daily.”
Besides banks, textile stocks also posted strong gains, buoyed by speculation around a potential tariff agreement between Pakistan and the United States. Such a development would open new export opportunities and enhance profitability for the sector, which is already benefitting from stable energy prices and improved liquidity.
Key performers contributing to the KSE-100’s bullish movement included HBL, FFC, BAFL, MCB, and LCI, which together added 476 points to the index. Meanwhile, some stocks, including AICL, EFERT, and MARI, acted as minor drags on the otherwise high-spirited session.
Investor participation remained exceptionally high, with trading volumes touching 914 million shares and a total turnover of Rs 45 billion. IMAGE Pakistan Limited led the volume chart, witnessing 48 million shares traded during the day.
The PSX has now set new highs multiple times in recent weeks, reflecting investor optimism around Pakistan’s improving macroeconomic outlook, consistent foreign investment flows, and a stabilizing rupee. Market analysts suggest that as long as earnings expectations hold and global sentiment remains favorable, the PSX could see even higher highs in the coming days.
With the bulls firmly in control, the PSX continues to demonstrate resilience and strength—turning heads both locally and abroad.
