The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) ended Tuesday’s session on a strong note, with the KSE-100 Index climbing 1,645 points, or 0.66%, to close at a record 165,493.
The benchmark index touched an intraday high of 166,556 as bullish sentiment dominated the market.
September 2025 proved historic for the PSX, which posted its highest-ever monthly average traded volume and the third-largest monthly average traded value on record, according to Arif Habib Ltd.
The rally was driven by a combination of factors, including robust buying interest, improved market liquidity, the ongoing result season, the recently announced Pakistan–Saudi Arabia defense pact, positive investment signals from the U.S. President, and the government’s finalization of a Rs. 1.225 trillion power circular debt resolution agreement.
According to Topline Securities, market strength was largely underpinned by stellar performances from UBL, HBL, MEBL, BAHL, and ENGROH, which together contributed 1,257 points to the index. However, some of the gains were offset by profit-taking in FFC, OGDC, and PSO, which collectively shaved 280 points off the day’s advance, as noted by Topline Securities.
Investor participation remained exceptionally strong, with total traded volumes reaching 1,343 million shares and a cumulative turnover of Rs. 76.6 billion. WorldCall Telecom (WTL) led the volume chart, with 113 million shares changing hands during the session.
