KARACHI – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a historic rally on Thursday as the benchmark KSE-100 Index surged past the 140,000 level for the first time in its history, reflecting growing investor confidence and continued bullish momentum in the market.

The index gained over 2,000 points during intraday trading, driven by robust buying across key sectors including banking, oil and gas, cement, and power. Market analysts attribute the surge to positive macroeconomic indicators, improved political stability, and expectations of further policy support from the government and financial regulators.

Foreign portfolio inflows and a strengthening Pakistani rupee have also played a significant role in boosting investor sentiment. Institutional and retail investors alike showed strong interest, with trading volumes reaching record levels.

Experts believe that the current momentum could continue in the coming weeks if economic reforms stay on track and corporate earnings remain favorable. The breakthrough above the 140,000 mark is not only symbolic but also signals a potential new growth phase for the Pakistani equity market.

With this milestone, the PSX reaffirms its position as one of the best-performing markets in the region, attracting both local and international attention.
