The Pakistan Stock Exchange extended its historic rally on Monday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index surpassing the 181,000 level for the first time during early trading. The index gained more than 2,000 points, reaching 181,118 at 10:20 am, up 1.16 percent.
Strong buying activity was observed across major sectors, including banks, cement, automobiles, oil and gas, fertiliser, and power generation. Analysts attributed the surge to renewed institutional buying, robust performance in the fertiliser sector, easing inflationary pressures, and market expectations of a potential policy rate cut later this month. These factors collectively strengthened investor confidence, sustaining the upward momentum in the market.
