Bulls break 117,000 barrier, buoyed by SBP policy rate cut

New_Thumb
This rally was fueled by investor confidence, bolstered by the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) recent 200-basis-point policy rate cut to 13%, positive macroeconomic indicators, and expectations of continued economic growth.

The KSE-100 index climbed 869.76 points (0.75%), reaching an intraday peak of 117,039.17.

This fifth consecutive rate cut by the SBP reflects a supportive monetary policy aimed at stimulating economic activity, driven by November’s inflation rate dropping to its lowest point since 2018 (4.9%).

Analysts predict this shift will draw investment away from fixed-income securities and into equities, further invigorating the market.
