Pakistan Stock Exchange witnessed a strong bullish trend as the benchmark index surged sharply in early trading, reflecting renewed investor confidence.

The KSE-100 Index jumped by more than 1,800 points, reaching the level of 173,999 points during the opening session. This sharp rise comes after the previous trading day saw a decline of 1,742 points, when the index closed at 172,196 points.

Market analysts say the sudden rebound indicates improved sentiment among investors, supported by recent positive economic developments and inflows that have strengthened the country’s financial outlook. Buying activity was observed across key sectors, pushing the market into positive territory.

Meanwhile, global and regional markets showed mixed performance. South Korea’s KOSPI Index gained 2.3 percent, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose by 1.28 percent. Malaysia’s FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI also recorded a gain of 1.05 percent.
