Pakistan Stock Market Rebounds as KSE-100 Gains 1,428 Points
Pakistan Stock Market rebounds as the KSE-100 Index gains 1,428 points on October 27, 2026.
The Pakistan Stock Market staged a strong recovery on Tuesday. The benchmark KSE-100 Index gained 1,428 points and closed above the psychological 164,000-point level.
Market capitalisation increased by approximately Rs153.83 billion. Meanwhile, share prices of 56.74% of listed companies advanced during the session.
Market analysts attributed the rebound to renewed buying in major companies and the cement sector. The recovery followed five consecutive weeks of market weakness.
Analysts also said expectations of an interest rate increase had already been factored into market prices. This helped support buying activity. However, global oil prices and regional tensions could continue to drive volatility.
