KARACHI:

The Pakistan Stock Exchange extended its bullish momentum on Monday, continuing last week’s rally with a session of positive consolidation. The benchmark KSE-100 Index gained 1,172 points, or 0.72%, to close at 162,803.

The market opened on a strong note, driven by sustained investor optimism, and touched an intraday high of 163,935 points—up 2,303 points or 1.43%—before mild profit-taking pared some early gains, said Ali Najib, Deputy Head of Trading at Arif Habib Ltd.
