Pakistan Stock Exchange maintained its upward trajectory on Tuesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index breaching the 179,000‑point level during early trading.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – The exchange continued its positive momentum on Tuesday, as the KSE‑100 Index climbed above 179,000 points amid strong investor confidence.
The PSX saw vigorous buying at the start of the week’s second session, pushing the KSE‑100 up more than 2,547 points to 179,587.06, building on the prior session’s gains.
Analysts linked the rally to a mix of improving global and domestic factors. Internationally, easing tensions between the United States and Iran — following a breakthrough accord to halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz — boosted investor sentiment, driving down global oil prices as worries over energy supply disruptions and inflation subsided.
Domestically, market support came from policy stability after the State Bank of Pakistan left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 11.5 percent in its latest monetary policy decision.
