The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its bullish momentum on Tuesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index closing at 167,346.83, up by 1,103.93 points or 0.66%.
The index reached an intra-day high of 168,414.13 during the session, driven by strong performances in stocks such as BAHL, FFC, MCB, OGDC, and PPL, which collectively added 830 points to the index. However, profit-taking in ENGROH, KEL, and UBL slightly curtailed the overall gains, subtracting 161 points from the index, according to Topline Securities.
The rally in the market was attributed to renewed investor confidence, fueled by reduced geopolitical tensions and improved macroeconomic indicators, including Pakistan’s current account surplus of $110 million for September 2025, as reported by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
On Monday, the KSE-100 Index also posted a strong performance, increasing by 2,436.69 points, or 1.49%, to close at 166,242.90 points, further contributing to the positive sentiment in the market. The boost in investor confidence came following a diplomatic breakthrough between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which was seen as a positive development for both countries’ economic outlooks.
