Continuing its bullish momentum, the KSE-100 Index gained 1.52 percent to close at the 179,039 level.
This bull run can be attributed to recent buying by local institutions on new allocations.
According to Topline, investor interest was observed in the fertilizer sector which helped drive the main bourse to a new record.
