The previous session had already witnessed the market\u2019s second-highest single-day increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market analysts said the rally followed the <strong>State Bank of Pakistan<\/strong> (SBP) decision to keep the policy rate unchanged at 10.5 percent, a move that reassured investors and revived risk appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investor sentiment was also supported by positive trends in global markets and declining oil prices after remarks by US President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> suggested that tensions in the Middle East could ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Executive Officer of <strong>Ismail Iqbal Securities<\/strong>, <strong>Ahfaz Mustafa<\/strong>, said easing oil prices, proactive government measures and attractive valuations had drawn investors back to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the market had corrected by more than 20 percent earlier due to geopolitical uncertainty, making stocks comparatively cheaper and dividend yields more appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Director Research at <strong>Arif Habib Limited<\/strong>, <strong>Ahsan Mehanti<\/strong>, said stocks staged further recovery in early trading due to institutional interest in oversold shares, lower global crude oil prices and encouraging remittance data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that workers\u2019 remittances reached $3.3 billion, marking an increase of 5.2 percent year-on-year, which supported investor confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts also cited government assurances to renegotiate aspects of the <strong>International Monetary Fund<\/strong> (IMF) programme to lower taxes and efforts to secure crude oil supplies during the ongoing regional crisis as key factors behind the bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, global markets showed mixed trends. Stocks in <strong>China<\/strong> and <strong>Hong Kong<\/strong> edged higher as investors shifted toward defensive sectors and increased bets on new energy industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil prices remained volatile amid uncertainty surrounding the ongoing conflict involving <strong>Iran<\/strong>, the <strong>United States<\/strong> and <strong>Israel<\/strong>, which has raised concerns about global inflation and economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brent crude futures traded around $87.89 per barrel, while US crude was near $83.47 per barrel after earlier fluctuations following reports that the <strong>International Energy Agency<\/strong> had proposed a major release of strategic oil reserves to stabilise global prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi: Stocks at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued their upward momentum on Wednesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index gaining more than 1,900 points amid falling global oil prices and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2106,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1643,605,102,606,1642],"class_list":["post-2105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","tag-global-oil-prices","tag-kse-100-index","tag-pakistan-economy","tag-pakistan-stock-exchange","tag-psx-rally"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
