Pakistan Stock Exchange Hits New Heights – Closes Near 140,000 Points
KARACHI – July 20, 2025:
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) celebrated a historic week as the KSE-100 index surged by 4,298 points, ending the week at 138,597 — its highest weekly close ever. This 3.2% increase was powered by renewed investor confidence, strong economic signals, and broad buying across major sectors.
What Fueled the Market Rally?
Multiple factors came together to drive this bullish momentum:
✅ Current Account Surplus:
Pakistan recorded a $2.1 billion surplus in its current account for FY25 — the largest in 22 years, thanks to increased remittances from overseas Pakistanis.
✅ Foreign Reserves Boost:
The State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) foreign exchange reserves climbed to $14.5 billion, marking a strong recovery.
✅ Strong Performance by Key Stocks:
Heavyweights like Fauji Fertiliser Company (FFC) and United Bank Limited (UBL) led the charge, contributing significantly to the overall index gain.
✅ New Tariff Policy:
The government announced a new National Tariff Policy (2025-2030) aiming to simplify tariff structures and boost exports, which improved market sentiment.
✅ Moody’s Meeting:
Pakistan’s finance officials held a meeting with Moody’s to show the country’s improving financial conditions and commitment to reforms — another factor that uplifted investor sentiment.
Daily Market Highlights: A Week of Highs and Swings
-
Monday:
The week kicked off with a bang as the KSE-100 index jumped 2,203 points, closing at a new all-time high of 136,502, following optimistic remarks by the IMF’s resident representative, who praised Pakistan’s ongoing economic recovery. -
Tuesday:
Investors paused to catch their breath. The market remained volatile and settled slightly lower at 135,940, down by 563 points. -
Wednesday:
Bulls began to stir again as the index recovered 440 points, finishing at 136,380 after a day of back-and-forth trading. -
Thursday:
Momentum returned with full force. The index rocketed by 2,285 points, fueled by institutional buying and increased investor interest in fertilizer stocks. -
Friday:
The PSX briefly crossed the 140,000 mark, but saw a mid-day dip to 138,344 before rebounding to close nearly unchanged at 138,597, losing just 68 points for the day.
Sector-Specific Developments
📈 Auto Financing Boom:
Auto financing in Pakistan saw a 20% year-on-year increase, rising to Rs277 billion in June 2025 from Rs231 billion a year earlier.
🏭 Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM):
The LSM sector also showed signs of growth. Output rose 2.3% YoY in May and a strong 7.9% MoM. However, overall output for the first 11 months of FY25 was still down 1.2% compared to the previous year.
💰 Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs):
In the latest PIBs auction, the government raised Rs342 billion, exceeding its Rs300 billion target. Yields fell between 30 to 54 basis points, showing investor confidence in government debt instruments.
Economic Outlook: Still Challenges Ahead
Despite the good news, Pakistan still faces a tough road ahead:
⚠️ External Debt Pressure:
The country must repay $23 billion in external loans in the current fiscal year. However, officials are hopeful that friendly countries will roll over a significant portion of this debt.
✈️ Privatization of PIA and Roosevelt Hotel:
The government plans to privatize Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) within the next two to three months and is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the Roosevelt Hotel in New York by August.
💱 Rupee Slightly Weaker:
The Pakistani rupee fell by 41 paisas week-on-week, closing at 284.87 against the US dollar. This minor dip didn’t dampen market enthusiasm.
Analyst Opinions
According to Arif Habib Limited (AHL), this week's performance was fueled by consistent buying across sectors, even with mild profit-taking. Investors remained confident, especially with the earnings season in full swing and the economy showing strong signs of recovery.
JS Global echoed similar thoughts, noting that the bulk of this week’s rally was due to FFC and UBL, which contributed 1,821 and 1,165 points respectively. They also noted a 20% decline in average daily turnover, showing that fewer investors were making larger, more confident bets.
Final Words
The PSX has given investors something to cheer about. The combination of a strong current account, rising foreign reserves, macroeconomic stability, and the government's push for reforms has turned the tide in favor of bulls.
With the benchmark index just shy of 140,000, and continued optimism from both local and international stakeholders, Pakistan’s stock market seems well-positioned for even bigger milestones ahead — as long as fiscal discipline and structural reforms stay on track.
