The Pakistan Stock Exchange continued its strong run on Wednesday, with the KSE-100 Index surpassing the 145,000 mark — its highest level in history. By the end of the session, the index closed at 145,113.59, marking a 2,076-point rise.
The uptrend was led by robust activity in sectors like commercial banking, energy, and automotive manufacturing. Index heavyweights such as ARL, SSGC, MEBL, and POL contributed significantly to the gains.
Market sentiment appears to be buoyed by a more stable economic environment. A controlled inflation rate, steady currency, and an encouraging export performance have created a favourable backdrop for investors.
