The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 index continued its bullish momentum on Wednesday, surging by over 6,700 points.
The KSE-100 index climbed by 6,768.25 points, or 4.55 per cent, to close at 155,511.56 from the previous close of 148,743.31.
The market fluctuated between an intraday low of 151,262.76 points at opening and surged by 8,603.86 points to reach an intraday high of 157,347.17 at 1:13pm.
On Tuesday, the KSE-100 had climbed by 1,900.34 points, marking a recovery after witnessing a meltdown on Monday.
Topline Securities Ltd had attributed the rebound to signs of de-escalation and intensifying diplomatic efforts. It highlighted Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar’s visit to China to engage key stakeholders in the ongoing peace efforts for the US-Israeli war on Iran.
On the macroeconomic front, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) maintained an active presence in the foreign exchange market, with cumulative net interventions of $12.4bn between June 2024 and December 2025, including $1bn in December alone. The move reflects efforts to stabilise the currency and bolster foreign exchange reserves.
