The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) closed at a new all-time high on Monday. The benchmark KSE-100 Index gained over 1,200 points, ending the session at 125,627. This one percent jump continued the market’s strong upward momentum. Investors stayed confident following the smooth approval of the federal budget.
The index touched an intraday high of 125,748 before settling slightly below it. This rise follows last week’s gain of 4,355 points when the index closed at 124,379. Analysts say a combination of economic clarity, reduced geopolitical risks, and expected policy stability helped boost market performance.
Most sectors showed positive activity, adding to the bullish sentiment. Market watchers also credited global factors for supporting the rally. International equity markets also performed well on Monday, further boosting investor confidence at the PSX.
In global markets, Asian shares went up as trade talks between the US and Canada improved. Canada announced it was removing its digital services tax, helping move negotiations forward. US investors were focused on job data and a massive tax-spending bill, even as tech stocks pushed Wall Street futures higher.
Overall, the PSX’s strong performance highlights growing investor trust. Both local and foreign investors are responding positively to signs of economic stability and political continuity. With these gains, Pakistan’s stock market continues to be a standout performer in the region.
