Karachi, June 24, 2025 — The recent ceasefire in the Middle East is already showing positive economic ripple effects, with Pakistan’s stock market witnessing a dramatic surge as investor confidence soars.
On Tuesday, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) saw its benchmark KSE-100 Index jump by over 6,000 points in a single trading session — a record-breaking rise that pushed the index to a historic high of 122,000 points.
Market analysts attribute this surge to improved regional stability, lower oil prices, and renewed optimism among global investors. The ceasefire has helped ease concerns over energy disruptions and geopolitical uncertainty, paving the way for renewed capital inflows and bullish sentiment in emerging markets like Pakistan.
According to brokers, major gains were seen across sectors, particularly in banking, cement, and energy stocks, as both domestic and foreign investors rushed to capitalise on the positive momentum.
Experts believe that if the truce holds and economic conditions remain favourable, the rally in the PSX could continue in the coming weeks, offering a much-needed boost to Pakistan’s broader economic outlook.
