Bullish Start to FY26 Continues

According to Arif Habib Limited (AHL), the index rallied from 125,627.31 to 131,949.06, driven by a blend of improving macroeconomic data, foreign portfolio inflows, and renewed investor confidence.
Key Drivers of Market Rally
-
📉 Easing Inflation:
Pakistan’s June 2025 inflation fell to 3.2%, down from 3.5% in May, with FY25 average inflation at 4.5%, a dramatic drop from 23.4% in FY24. -
⚡ Lower Electricity Tariffs:
The government’s FY26 decision to reduce average power tariffs by PKR 1.1/KWh supported business sentiment. -
💸 Foreign Inflows:
Increased interest from foreign institutional investors buoyed market confidence. -
📈 Strong FY25 Performance:
PSX closed FY25 as the best-performing regional exchange, delivering a 60% annual return — a key factor boosting continued investor enthusiasm.
Market Sentiment
Analysts at JS Global noted that the strong finish to FY25 combined with a positive macro outlook has elevated sentiment across all sectors. The 31% week-on-week jump in average daily turnover (ADTO) further confirms broad-based investor participation.
“The momentum in FY26 reflects market confidence in upcoming policy clarity and macro stability,” said Syed Danyal Hussain of JS Global.
Outlook: Can the Rally Sustain?
With a favorable macroeconomic backdrop, continued foreign interest, and policy clarity expected from the new government, the PSX may continue its upward trajectory. However, traders are advised to stay cautious around profit-taking phases as volatility may increase at record levels.
Conclusion:
The PSX’s bull run shows no signs of slowing down. With the KSE-100 Index breaching 133,000 points, market participants are eyeing new milestones. If macro fundamentals continue to improve, FY26 could shape up to be another record-breaking year for Pakistani equities.
