The index increased by 870 points yesterday. This growth comes as a testament to the resilience observed in the Pakistani equities market.

The increasing trend has been ascribed by analysts to several variables, such as strong company results, encouraging economic indicators, and improved market confidence. A portion of this expansion could also be linked to anticipation of a central bank policy rate reduction.
