The buying rally at the Pakistan Stock Exchange continued for a third straight session on Thursday morning, with investors staying firmly on the buying side from the opening bell. The benchmark KSE-100 index crossed the 175,000 level in morning trade, reaching 175,347.48 at 9:45 AM, up 3,334.00 points or 1.94%, and later touched an intraday high of 176,604.51.
The advance was broad-based, with buying seen across automobile assemblers, cement, commercial banks, oil and gas exploration companies and oil marketing companies. Index-heavy stocks including MARI, OGDC, PSO, SSGC, HUBCO, HBL, MCB, MEBL and NBP traded in the green, helping to lift the overall index higher.
Market sentiment was helped by easing oil prices and hopes that the US midterm election results lower the risk of further escalation in the US-Israel-Iran standoff. The positive mood followed Wednesday's strong session, when the index surged by 3,994.62 points to close at 172,013.48.
In international markets, Brent crude dived nearly 9% overnight to below $100 a barrel, down about 20% this week. US stocks rose overnight, with the S&P 500 up 1.6%, and European shares hit a two-month high. Asian markets were mixed: South Korea's KOSPI slid 4%, Taiwan fell 1.8% and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.5%, while the US dollar slipped to a one-month low against the euro.
PSX mein aaj subah bhi zabardast tezi rahi — KSE-100 175,000 ki satah se upar chala gaya.
