Investor sentiment received a major boost from the government's business-friendly FY2026-27 budget, which was widely viewed by market participants as supportive of economic growth, corporate profitability, and investment activity.

Optimism surrounding fiscal measures, including relief in super tax, lower withholding taxes on property transactions, reduced export advance tax, continued incentives for IT exporters, and the government's commitment to fiscal discipline encouraged aggressive buying across banking, cement, fertilizer, and energy stocks.

Adding to the positive momentum, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the United States and Iran had reached a peace agreement aimed at ending hostilities and restoring stability in the Middle East.

The development eased concerns over regional tensions and energy supply disruptions, improving risk appetite among investors and supporting a strong rally at the Pakistan Stock Exchange.

To note, the KSE-100 has gained 51,413 points or 40.92% during the fiscal year, whereas it has increased 2,986 points or 1.72% so far this calendar year.
