The positive movement also reflects increased interest in shares across the market, although the sustainability of the rally will depend on upcoming economic indicators and investor sentiment.
Pakistani rupee strengthens against US dollar
Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee recorded a marginal improvement against the US dollar in the interbank market.
The US dollar declined by one paisa to trade at Rs276.65, providing slight support to the local currency.
Although the decline was small, the movement indicates another marginal gain for the Pakistani rupee against the greenback.
The exchange rate remains an important indicator for businesses, importers and investors, as changes in the dollar's value can influence import costs and overall economic activity.
Market participants will continue monitoring the performance of the KSE-100 Index and currency exchange rates for further signs of stability in Pakistan's financial markets.
