The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) 100 index was recorded trading at 55,094 at 10 a.m on Friday, the last day of the trading week.
On Tuesday, the KSE-100 index crossed the 54,000 points mark.
Head of equity at Intermarket Securities, Raza Jafri, attributed the rally to strong domestic institutional buying and reducing Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs) yields.
It is pertinent to mention here that, the last time the index traded above 52,000 points was in 2017 during PML-N’s tenure.
