It was a rollercoaster week at the Pakistan Stock Exchange, marked by sharp swings driven by geopolitical tensions.
Monday opened with a wave of panic selling, dragging the benchmark index down by 3.2%. However, the announcement of a ceasefire just a day later sparked a dramatic rebound, erasing earlier losses and propelling the market up by 5.2%.
By week’s end, the KSE-100 Index had surged 4,356 points (3.6%), closing at a record-breaking 124,379. This historic high reflects renewed investor confidence and a swift shift in sentiment.
