The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) extended its upward momentum on Tuesday, successfully reclaiming the key 175,000-point level as investor confidence strengthened across major sectors. The benchmark KSE-100 index posted notable gains amid sustained buying interest, continuing the rally that has characterized the local equity market in recent sessions.
Market participants attributed the positive momentum to improved macroeconomic indicators and renewed foreign portfolio inflows, which helped sustain demand for blue-chip stocks. Banking, cement, and energy shares led the advance, contributing to the broad-based recovery.
Analysts noted that breaching the 175,000 threshold represents a significant psychological milestone for the exchange, potentially paving the way for further upside if current trends persist. Trading volume remained robust, reflecting heightened market participation as traders positioned for continued gains.
