The Pakistan Stock Exchange started the week on a strong bullish note as the benchmark KSE-100 Index gained 2,082.49 points, closing at 187,454.69 on Monday.
The index rose 1.12% during the session, extending its record-setting momentum after a strong close in the previous week. The market opened positively and stayed largely in the green, supported by fresh buying in key sectors.
Investor sentiment remained upbeat as the market continued to draw support from improved confidence in Pakistan’s economic outlook, softer international oil prices, and institutional buying in heavyweight shares.
According to market activity, the KSE-100 moved above the 186,500-point level early in the session before some profit-taking appeared. However, selling pressure remained limited, and buying returned later in the day, helping the index close near a fresh high.
Major index contributors included banking, cement, energy and exploration stocks. Heavyweight shares such as HBL, MEBL, NBP, LUCK and MARI played an important role in pushing the benchmark higher.
Trading activity also remained strong. Volume on the all-share index increased to 888.40 million shares, compared with 815.65 million shares in the previous session. The total value of traded shares rose to Rs. 49.98 billion, up from Rs. 42.63 billion earlier.
Out of 495 companies traded, 296 closed higher, 182 declined, and 17 remained unchanged, showing broad-based participation across the market.
The latest rally comes after the KSE-100 Index gained 5,800.93 points, or 3.2%, in the previous week to close at 185,372.20 points. That weekly advance was supported by lower geopolitical risk, easing international crude prices and positive domestic economic indicators.
Lower oil prices are viewed positively for Pakistan because the country depends heavily on imported fuel. A decline in global crude prices can ease pressure on the import bill, inflation outlook and overall market sentiment.
Market participants are now expected to watch corporate earnings, oil price movement, policy signals and foreign exchange trends for further direction.
