September 21, 2025 (MLN): The good luck charm for
Pakistan equities has not ended, it seems; it just started as the KSE-100 Index closed
the week at a whopping 158,037 points, a gain of 3,598 points, or a respectable
2.33% week-over-week.
The news of the Saudi-Pakistan defense pact, have given
investors a much-needed confidence boost. It is like the market is now cruising
on newfound optimism.
Market cap
The KSE-100 market capitalization stood at Rs4.67 trillion,
up 2.13% from the previous week’s Rs4.58tr.
This week, the index return in USD terms was 2.36%, compared

On the economic front, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)
decided to hold steady, keeping the policy rate at 11%, keeping a close eye on
the recent floods and their potential impact on the economy.
The current account deficit is getting smaller, which is
always a good sign. It came in at a manageable $245 million in August, a
significant improvement from the $379m in July.
The industrial sector is showing some serious muscle. Large
Scale Manufacturing Industries (LSMI) saw a solid 8.99% increase YoY in July,
and a 2.6% jump MoM. This is great news, as it shows that Pakistan's factories
are humming along and churning out goods.
