KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-June 24th, 2025) The pakistan stock exchange (PSX) on Tuesday witnessed a historic rally following the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, with the benchmark index surging by 5,878 points.
The market reports said that the sharp increase prompted a temporary suspension of trading as the index jumped over 5%—a level that automatically triggers a market halt under psx regulations.
In an official statement, the PSX management confirmed that trading was paused for one hour due to the significant upward movement.
The analysts attributed the bullish sentiment to easing geopolitical tensions in the middle East, which boosted investor confidence across regional markets.
