The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a robust recovery on Monday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index rebounding sharply after last week’s weakness.
The recovery followed a challenging week in which the KSE-100 Index declined by approximately 2.7%, primarily due to heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, volatility in international oil prices, and investor caution ahead of Pakistan’s monetary policy announcement.
The index settled at 178,262.33 points, registering a gain of 7,241.13 points (+4.23 percent), as broad-based buying and improved investor sentiment fueled a strong market-wide rally.
With these concerns partially easing, investors took advantage of attractive valuations, leading to renewed buying interest across key sectors and a broad-based market rebound.
On the index contribution front, UBL, FFC, ENGROH, MEBL, and LUCK emerged as the leading performers, collectively contributing approximately 2,546 points to the benchmark index.
