Karachi, 10 November 2026: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) had one of its best days in weeks. The benchmark KSE-100 index closed at 179,335.24, up 5,448.56 points (3.13%) from Friday’s close of 173,886.69.
Why did the market rise?
Buying picked up after US President Donald Trump said US military action against Iran was not needed “at this point”, which calmed fears of a wider conflict and higher oil prices. Strong remittances also supported sentiment. The market had been closed on Monday, 9 November, for Allama Iqbal Day.
