Rise marks a continuation of strong rally seen since the start of new financial year, FY2025-26
KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 3rd, 2025) The pakistan stock exchange (PSX) on Thursday soared to a historic high, with the benchmark KSE-100 index crossing the 131,000-point mark for the first time, reflecting strong investor confidence and bullish momentum at the onset of the new fiscal year.
Trading at the psx began with a surge in buying activity, and the index gained 727 points during the session, closing at an all-time high of 131,071 points. Rise marks a continuation of the strong rally seen since the start of the new financial year, FY2025-26.
According to the market analysts, investor sentiment has significantly improved due to the government’s economic policies, positive developments in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and expectations of recovery in the industrial sector. These factors have contributed to an influx of capital into the equity market.
In just five trading sessions, the KSE-100 index has added over 9,000 points—an extraordinary performance not seen in recent years. On Wednesday, the index had already breached the psychological barrier of 130,000 points.
The economists note that the market’s bullish trend not only highlights renewed investor trust but also signals broader optimism about economic stability. If this momentum continues, analysts believe investors could reap substantial gains in both the short and long term.
The rise in market capitalization and trading volumes, coupled with foreign interest, has positioned the PSX as one of the best-performing regional markets in the early days of the new fiscal year.
