KARACHI, Pakistan — October 15, 2025
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its bullish momentum for a second straight session, recording a remarkable gain of over 2,000 points in the benchmark KSE-100 Index. The rally reflects growing investor confidence amid signs of economic stabilization and regional optimism.
Trading opened with a sharp 1,325-point rise, pushing the index to 166,801. Gains accelerated throughout the day, with the index climbing by 1,535, 1,541, and eventually 2,057 points, closing at 167,533 — a new record high.
This surge follows Tuesday’s dramatic rally, when the index jumped more than 7,000 points, crossing the 165,000 threshold for the first time in history.
Market analysts attribute the upswing to improved macroeconomic indicators, easing political tensions, and renewed interest from foreign investors. The PSX’s performance is being closely watched by regional markets, with many viewing it as a bellwether for South Asia’s financial resilience.
The continued rise in Pakistan’s equity market signals a potential shift in investor sentiment, with expectations of further reforms and fiscal discipline driving optimism across sectors.
