At 10 a.m. on the final day of the trading week, Friday, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) 100 index was observed trading at 55,094 points. Earlier in the week, specifically on Tuesday, the KSE-100 index surpassed the 54,000 points milestone. Raza Jafri, Head of Equity at Intermarket Securities, credited the rally to robust domestic institutional buying and a decline in yields for Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs).
It is noteworthy to highlight that the index last traded above 52,000 points in 2017, during the tenure of PML-N.
