The recent ceasefire between Pakistan and India has begun to positively impact the country’s economy, particularly evident in a significant rise in the Pakistan Stock Exchange at the start of the trading week.

On Monday, investor confidence surged as the market opened, with the 100 Index recording an impressive increase of 10,000 points, reaching a total of 117,100 points. However, trading was temporarily halted after the index experienced a 5% rise.

For context, the 100 Index closed at 107,174 points on the previous Friday.

Investors have reacted favorably to the post-ceasefire climate, resulting in strong investment activity that not only boosted market volume but also provided optimistic signals for the national economy.

Market analysts indicate that if political tensions in the region continue to decrease, this upward trend in the stock exchange may further stabilize in the upcoming days.
