KSE-100 after 24-month hiatus surpasses 48,000-mark

KSE-100 surges over 900 points

KSE-100 after 24-month hiatus surpassed the 48,000 mark on Monday, July 31.

Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 index jumped past the 48,000 mark as analysts expect the positive sentiment to continue in the coming days.

A bullish trend took over the market after Pakistan’s deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and later, news on the country’s mineral sector strengthened the gains further.

During the intra-day trade, the benchmark index increased by 1,010.72 points or 2.15% to reach 48,062.56 points, data showed, up from the previous close of 47,076.9 points.

Since Pakistan’s staff-level agreement with the IMF for a $3 billion Standby Agreement, the market has gained more than 6,600 points (+15.9%).
