KARACHI – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) achieved a historic milestone on Tuesday, crossing the 137,000-point mark for the first time.
The KSE-100 index benchmark stands at all-time high of 137,495.27 points. This represents a gain of 992.74 points, or a 0.73% increase, compared to the previous close of 136,502.53.
Market analysts highlight strong investor confidence and favorable economic signals as key drivers behind the surge. The breakthrough past the 137,000 threshold reflects growing optimism in the market, with various sectors showing steady performance.
This new high marks a significant moment for the PSX, reinforcing its upward trend and attracting attention from both local and international investors. If the momentum continues, it could set the stage for further growth in the days ahead.
A sharp rise in overseas workers’ remittances, combined with thriving auto sales and bolstered foreign exchange reserves, created a positive investment environment—even as market participation remained muted and the currency showed slight depreciation.
In fiscal year 2024‑25, Pakistan saw record inflows of $38.3 billion in worker remittances, up approximately 27% from the $30.25 billion received in FY24.
This unprecedented surge helped cushion the external account and support reserves.
