The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) began the week positively, with bulls pushing the market higher by more than 850 points, reflecting strong investor confidence and robust buying activity.
During intra-day trading on Monday, the benchmark KSE-100 index surged by 878.58 points, or 0.98%, reaching 90,872.54 points, a significant rise from the previous close of 89,993.96 points.
Analysts attributed the surge to a host of reasons, as the market expects a cut in interest rates next month.
