Summary Pakistan Stock Exchange rebounded on Tuesday, with the KSE-100 index rising over 400 points to close above 171,000
KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a bullish session on Tuesday as the benchmark index regained the 171,000-point level amid renewed investor confidence and buying activity.
At the opening of the trading day, the market showed strong momentum, rising by over 700 points to reach an intraday high of 171,339 points. Although volatility was observed during the session, the index eventually closed at 171,021 points, reflecting a gain of 421 points compared to the previous close.
In the preceding trading session, the market had declined sharply by 3,362 points, closing at 170,600 points, making the recovery in today’s session particularly notable.
Market analysts attributed the positive sentiment to improved investor confidence in selected sectors, although global uncertainty—particularly related to geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran—continued to weigh on broader Asian markets.
Across the region, mixed performance was observed. South Korea’s KOSPI index fell by more than 2%, while Japan’s Nikkei declined by around 1.5%. Chinese and Indonesian markets also remained under pressure. In contrast, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index gained 1.46%, while Thailand’s SET index also posted an increase.
Experts say Pakistan’s market resilience reflects domestic liquidity support and selective investor interest, even as global volatility continues to influence regional trading patterns.
