KSE-100 index closed on a positive note, marking a new all-time high both intraday and at the close. While the index showed strength, it remained somewhat volatile throughout the session, with instances of profit taking observed as investors locked in gains after the recent rally, according to Ismail Iqbal Securities.

Oil & Gas Exploration Companies, Power Generation & Distribution, and Oil & Gas Marketing Companies sectors were the major contributors in today’s session.

The benchmark KSE-100 Index sustained its upward trajectory during today’s trading session, marking a new all-time intraday high on the back of pronounced institutional buying, optimistic corporate earnings expectations, and a continued improvement in key macroeconomic indicators, Pearl Securities stated.

Nevertheless, selective profit-taking in the latter half of the session moderated the earlier gains, marginally paring back the index’s upward momentum.

The index faced downward primarily due to negative contributions from BAHL, MCB, MEBL, HBL, and MTL, which collectively eroded 493 points. Conversely, notable gains in OGDC, UBL, and HUBC partially offset the decline, contributing a cumulative 353 points.
