PSX Rally Strengthens as Market Confidence Peaks

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed the penultimate trading session of 2025 on a historic note, reaching an all-time high. Investor optimism and economic stability fueled the rally, pushing the benchmark KSE-100 Index to new heights.

On Tuesday, the KSE-100 Index gained 576 points, closing at 174,472. This marked a 0.33% increase from the previous session and highlighted the market’s sustained bullish momentum. During the day, the index touched an intraday high of 174,805 points, reflecting strong investor appetite for equities.

Market capitalisation also rose significantly, climbing to Rs19.69 trillion. Analysts attribute this surge to structural reforms, improved macroeconomic indicators, and consistent policy measures that have strengthened investor confidence throughout the year.

The PSX has delivered an impressive 52% return in 2025, making it one of the best-performing markets in the region. This remarkable growth underscores the resilience of Pakistan’s financial sector and the effectiveness of reforms aimed at stabilising the economy.

Investor sentiment remained upbeat as trading volumes stayed strong, with buyers dominating the session. The rally was supported by optimism around fiscal discipline, declining inflationary pressures, and expectations of continued economic recovery.

Experts believe the momentum will carry into the final trading session of the year, setting the stage for a robust start to 2026. The consistent upward trend reflects not only market enthusiasm but also confidence in Pakistan’s long-term economic outlook.

The PSX’s record-breaking performance in 2025 highlights the growing appeal of Pakistan’s capital markets. With reforms paving the way for stability and growth, the exchange has positioned itself as a key driver of investment opportunities in the region.
