The government is considering filing a treason case under Article 6 against PTI founder Imran Khan, former president Arif Alvi, and former deputy speaker Qasim Suri. On Tuesday, the KSE-100 Index was up more than 1.3% during early trading, following a day of roughly a 2 percent loss due to growing political unrest and the potential banning of the party.

However, the benchmark index of the Pakistan Stock Exchange was trading at 79,074.63 by 11:49 a.m., having gained 535.45 points, or 0.68 percent, after reaching an intraday high of 79,578.04.

Market analysts said that political tensions were the primary cause of the KSE-100’s earlier Monday decline of 1578.71 points, or 1.97 percent.

They did point out, though, that a correction was a reasonable reaction to the protracted upswing that allowed the benchmark mark index to reach 81,839.86 on July 18.

As a result of interest rate cuts and the possibility of another IMF program, the Pakistan Stock Exchange has gained 22.97 percent so far this year. The cycle began on June 10 with a 1.5 percent decrease in borrowing costs.

At 98,164.24 points, the benchmark KSE-100 Index is just 1,800 points away from the much-anticipated 100,000 level and is approaching a historic milestone.

Favorable macroeconomic indicators and high investor confidence have propelled the index’s bullish momentum as of 9:47 a.m. today.

The KSE-100 had a significant increase of 469.84 points, or 0.48%, on Friday, closing at 97,798.23 points. Market optimism was indicated by the index’s quick spike to an intraday high of 99,623.03 points.

Analysts have increased their estimates, predicting that by the end of 2025, the KSE-100 might rise to 120,000. Continued improvements in macroeconomic conditions, such as declining bond yields, are anticipated to be the main drivers of this spike since they are bringing more liquidity to the equities market.

Following the drop in bond yields, mutual funds have made about $132 million in investments in Pakistani stocks since January 2024. This influx of funds is considered a favorable indicator of investor sentiment.

The market has also risen as a result of the State Bank of Pakistan’s decision to reduce interest rates by a total of 700 basis points, from 22% in May 2024 to 15% now.

The All-Share Index, which measures the overall market, also showed robust gains. With a net increase of 280.51 points, or 0.44%, it was at 62,376.87 points. Expectations of additional growth in the equity market are being bolstered by this encouraging trend.
