PSX Closing Bell: Born to Climb

June 30, 2025 (MLN): The benchmark KSE-100 Index concluded Monday's trading session at an all-time high of 125,627.31, showing an increase of 1,248.25 points or 1.00%.

The index remained positive throughout the day showing an intraday high of 125,748.58 (+1,369.52) and a low of 124,500.20 (+121.14) points.

The total volume of the KSE-100 Index was 258.99 million shares.

This positive sentiment is attributed to stronger investor confidence after Bloomberg reported that Pakistan led all emerging markets in reducing default risk, with the probability falling sharply from 59% to 47%, the largest decline worldwide.

Additionally, China extended a $3.4 billion support package, comprising a $2.1bn loan rollover and $1.3bn in refinancing.

This assistance has enabled Pakistan to meet the IMF’s $14bn foreign exchange reserves target by June 30.

The inflows are set to bolster reserves, stabilize the rupee, reinforce IMF confidence, and lend crucial support to the broader economy.
