KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed record-breaking bullish momentum on Friday, with the benchmark KSE-100 index surging to its highest level in history.
On the last trading day of the week, investor enthusiasm fueled an extraordinary rally, pushing the index up by 1,901 points to close at 161,181 points, marking an all-time high for the country’s stock market.
The rally began as soon as trading opened, with strong buying activity recorded across multiple sectors. Within the first few hours, the index had already gained more than 800 points before accelerating further.
According to market data, the PSX-100 index has risen by 39% so far in 2025, while over the past 12 months, it has surged by an impressive 96%.
Economists and market analysts attributed the historic performance to a combination of government policies, improved macroeconomic indicators, and growing investor trust. They also highlighted the return of foreign investors, who are once again showing keen interest in Pakistan’s equity market.
“If this positive momentum continues, the stock market could serve as a strong signal of economic recovery and growth,” analysts noted.
The development marks a significant milestone for Pakistan’s financial markets, which have seen renewed activity after years of volatility and uncertainty.
