The Pakistan Stock Exchange witnessed a remarkable bullish trend during the outgoing business week as the benchmark KSE-100 Index surged by 8,121 points, closing at 171,115 points amid strong investor confidence and aggressive buying across key sectors.
Market analysts said the positive momentum was driven by renewed optimism regarding economic stability, expectations of improved corporate earnings, and increasing participation from institutional investors. The benchmark index remained highly volatile throughout the week, moving within a wide band of 10,741 points.
During the trading sessions, the market touched a weekly high of 173,274 points, while the lowest level recorded during the week stood at 162,532 points. Despite fluctuations, investors maintained strong buying interest, helping the market recover sharply and end the week on a highly positive note.
Trading activity also remained robust as more than 4.36 billion shares exchanged hands during the week, with the total value of trades reaching Rs210 billion. Analysts noted that banking, cement, energy, and technology sectors remained among the major contributors to the rally.
Meanwhile, the overall market capitalisation increased significantly by Rs880 billion on a weekly basis, reaching Rs18.903 trillion, reflecting growing investor confidence in the equity market.
Experts believe that if macroeconomic indicators continue to improve and political stability remains intact, the bullish momentum at the PSX may continue in the coming weeks.
