The market rally has been driven by growing investor confidence, supported by improving macroeconomic conditions, declining bond yields, and sustained inflows of foreign capital into equities.
Key factors contributing to the PSX’s strong performance include the State Bank of Pakistan’s decision to cut interest rates by a total of 700 basis points since May 2024, significantly boosting investor sentiment.
Additionally, mutual funds have invested over $132 million into Pakistani stocks since January, reflecting a notable shift in preference from the bond market to equities.
