The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its upward momentum on Thursday. Strong buying interest pushed the market higher during early trading. Investor sentiment improved due to global diplomatic developments.
The benchmark KSE-100 index recorded a sharp rise. It climbed by nearly 3,000 points during the session. The index touched 167,691.89 points compared to the previous close of 164,831. This reflects strong bullish activity in the market.
At one point, the market gained around 3,000 points, showing intense investor confidence. The rally was supported by expectations of a possible US-Iran peace agreement. Traders reacted positively to the easing geopolitical tension.
Officials and analysts linked the surge to improved global outlook. The hope of reduced conflict between the US and Iran boosted risk appetite. This encouraged fresh buying across key sectors of the stock market.
International developments also influenced sentiment. US President Donald Trump stated that Washington would wait for Iran’s response before moving forward on a potential agreement. He described Iranian negotiators as “reasonable” and suggested that discussions were progressing.
Trump also mentioned that Iran is facing economic pressure. He added that this situation could push both sides toward a deal. However, he warned that military action could still be an option if talks fail.
Iran responded by confirming receipt of new proposals from the United States. Officials in Tehran said they are currently reviewing the offers. This development added further optimism in global financial markets.
In the regional context, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is reportedly in Tehran. He is helping facilitate communication between both sides. This diplomatic engagement is being closely watched by investors.
The positive sentiment translated directly into market gains. At multiple points during the session, the index remained near the 3,000 points increase level. Trading activity remained strong across banking, energy, and industrial sectors.
Market experts say investor confidence has improved due to expectations of stability. However, they also caution that uncertainty remains until a formal agreement is reached.
For now, the 3,000 points rally highlights strong optimism in the PSX. Investors continue to monitor geopolitical updates closely as trading progresses.
