Pakistan Stock Exchange Hits Historic Milestone

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) reached a record-breaking level on Thursday, as the benchmark KSE-100 index crossed the 138,000-point mark for the first time during intraday trading—highlighting strong investor confidence and sustained market momentum.

The index gained 1,662.03 points, rising by 1.22%, to touch an all-time high of 138,041.99 points, while trading activity continued. Earlier in the session, the index dipped to an intraday low of 136,674.98 points, with a trading volume exceeding 142 million shares.

This significant surge is attributed to growing optimism in the market, driven by improving economic indicators, positive investor sentiment, and confidence in the government’s ongoing reform efforts.

The development followed a briefing by Federal Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb to global ratings agency Moody’s, where he shared updates on Pakistan’s economic stabilization, reform agenda, and renewed engagement with international financial institutions.
