Updated on:

Pakistan’s stock market bounced back strongly, with the KSE-100 Index rising 1,291 points to close at 162,226, driven by a bullish trend and improved investor confidence.

KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a strong rally on Wednesday as renewed investor confidence pushed the benchmark KSE-100 Index back above the 162,000 mark.

By the close of the third trading day of the week, the index jumped by 1,291 points, settling at 162,226 points. During intraday trading, the index even touched a high of 162,741 points as investors continued to pile in, sensing improved market sentiment and hoping for better days ahead.

The benchmark had closed at 160,935 points in the previous session, but today’s sharp rise helped the market regain lost ground and turn the tide in favour of bullish activity.

Market watchers said investors appeared ready to “take the plunge” again as optimism made its way back into the trading halls.

Analysts added that the ongoing positive trend could “keep the ball rolling” if economic indicators remain stable and policy clarity continues in the coming days.
