On Monday, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) extended its rally, hitting another all-time high, supported by broad-based buying, optimism over stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, and rising expectations of a policy rate cut in the upcoming MPC meeting.
The KSE-100 Index surged 2,662.86 points (1.44%), closing at 187,761.69 points.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s efforts to lure foreign capital suffered a major setback in the first half of the current fiscal year, as overseas investment flows weakened sharply amid rising geopolitical tensions in the region. Foreign direct investment (FDI) fell by 43 per cent between July and December of FY26, raising concerns about the sustainability of external financing.
