The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has reached a new all-time high, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index rising by 1,119 points to hit a record level of 143,172 points. This sharp increase shows that the stock market continues to follow a strong upward trend.
Just a day before, the index had already crossed the 142,000-point mark, highlighting steady growth in investor interest and overall market confidence.
Alongside this positive development in the stock market, the Pakistani rupee also made gains against the US dollar.
In the interbank market, the dollar dropped by 12 paisas, bringing the exchange rate to Rs. 282.54. This small yet steady improvement in the rupee’s value reflects increased investor trust in the country’s economic stability.
These developments point to growing confidence in Pakistan’s economy. The rising stock market and strengthening currency suggest that local and foreign investors are feeling more positive about future growth and financial stability.
Experts believe that this performance can encourage further investment in the country’s economy and financial sectors. However, they also warn that external factors like global oil prices and political stability will play a key role in sustaining this momentum.
