KARACHI: PSX has shown recovery on Tuesday following yesterday’s stock market crash as the markets suffered the effects of US President Donald Trump’s retaliatory tariffs.
On Monday, the PSX experienced the bloody Monday as investors felt selling pressure following the global stock market crash. However, the Pakistan Stock Exchange showed strong recouping from yesterday’s stock market crash.
Investors showed great confidence and responded positively to some signs of stabilization in global markets.
On Tuesday, the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 Index gained 622.95 points in totality.
The market closed at 115,532.43 points, with the highest intraday of 116,424.35 points and 115,560.90 points at lowest.
“Markets are recovering on the back of [a] rebound in global markets. The tariff played havoc, and the knee-jerk reaction has ended,” noted the CEO of Ismail Iqbal Securities.
He further added, “The markets have now had 4–5 days to digest the news and will adjust accordingly. The bottom may not be in yet, but the indiscriminate selling is done for the time being.”
Furthermore, he also noted that the US delegation’s visit to Pakistan regarding potential investment in mining sector also brought positivity in the market.
It merits a mention that the government organised the Pakistan Mineral Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25) in Islamabad, which was attended by senior civil-military leadership.
COAS Gen Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also attended the event wooing potential investors to invest in Pakistan’s untapped mineral industry.
Representatives from the US, Saudi Arabia, China, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, and other countries — as well as financial institutions like the US Exim Bank and the Asian Development Bank — are participating.
