PSX crosses 125,000 points amid investor optimism

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) crossed the 125,000 mark on Monday, showing strong growth due to positive investor confidence and signs of an improving economy.

By 1:25 PM, the KSE-100 index stood at 125,518.65 points, which is a gain of 1,139.59 points or 0.92% compared to the previous day.

There was strong buying across many major sectors like:

• Automobile companies

• Cement industry

• Banks

• Oil and gas exploration

• Fuel marketing (OMCs)

• Power companies

• Oil refineries

Some big stocks that performed well include ARL, HUBCO, MARI, OGDC, PPL, POL, PSO, and SSGC, all of which were trading positively.

This rise continues the strong trend from the previous week, when the market had also performed well. The KSE-100 index rose by 3.6% week-on-week, closing at 124,379.06 points, a historic high at that time.

According to Topline Securities, the index went up by 4,355.83 points (or 3.63%) during the week. The rally was supported by expected foreign investment and reduced regional tensions.

A key moment was a massive mid-week jump of 6,079 points (5.23%), which was the second-biggest single-day gain in history, and came right after a ceasefire announcement in the region.

In short, the PSX is seeing strong momentum, driven by improving economic hopes, foreign investor interest, and easing political tensions.
