Karachi, November 19, 2025: Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a robust trading session on Wednesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 index surging 1,291 points to close at 162,226, up from the previous day’s 160,935 points. The day’s trading reflected renewed investor confidence and optimism in key sectors of the market.
According to analysts at Topline Securities Limited, the KSE-100 index moved between a high of 162,741 and a low of 161,279, bolstered in part by FFC’s increased influence following its recent inclusion in the KMI-30 Index from Monday. Market sentiment remained largely positive, driven by strong performances of major index heavyweights including FFC, PPL, OGDC, PSO, and EFERT, which collectively contributed approximately 1,383 points to the overall index gains.
Trading activity displayed notable strength, with total volumes reaching 1,028 million shares and a turnover of Rs 45 billion, signaling increased participation by both institutional and retail investors. WTL led the session in trading volumes, with 160 million shares exchanged, highlighting heightened investor interest in actively traded stocks.
Experts believe the current momentum reflects growing confidence in the equity market, fueled by corporate earnings prospects and positive macroeconomic indicators. The upward trend in PSX also underscores the resilience of Pakistan’s capital market, attracting both domestic and foreign investors seeking short-term and long-term opportunities.
With continued support from key sectors and improving market liquidity, analysts predict that PSX could sustain this bullish momentum in the coming trading sessions, reinforcing investor optimism and strengthening Pakistan’s stock market performance.
