The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued its rally on Wednesday with the KSE-100 index gaining 593.25 points as the postponement of the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) long march helped drive investors’ sentiments.
At the end of the day, the market settled in the green at 45,450.31 points (up 1.32 per cent).
The suspension of protests by the opposition, rupee recovery and “likely status quo in key policy rate announcement this week played a catalyst role in bullish close at PSX”.
