Pakistan Stock Exchange Surges 9,928 Points as India-Pakistan Ceasefire

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) experienced a historic rally on May 12, 2025. The benchmark KSE-100 index surged 9,928 points, or over 9%, to 117,104.11 during intra-day trading, marking the largest single-day point increase in its history.

The surge, which triggered a temporary trading suspension due to extreme fluctuations, was driven by improved investor confidence following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Pakistan and India, easing geopolitical tensions.

The KSE-100 index’s 9,928-point jump from its previous close of 107,174.63 points reflected a sharp recovery from a turbulent week, during which it plummeted 6,939 points (-6.1%) amid Pakistan-India hostilities. PSX data reported over 60 million shares traded with a turnover exceeding Rs4.37 billion by the suspension, underscoring robust market activity.

Analysts attributed the rally to the ceasefire announcement, which alleviated fears of further escalation after Pakistan’s Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos and India’s airstrikes.

The previous week saw the KSE-100 index drop to near 107,000, reflecting investor anxiety over escalating tensions, including India’s May 9 airstrikes on Pakistani airbases and Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes targeting 26 Indian military sites. A partial rebound on Friday hinted at recovery. Still, Monday’s rally confirmed a significant shift in sentiment, bolstered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s ceasefire declaration and mediation efforts by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The rally signals renewed investor trust in Pakistan’s economic stability, supported by the ceasefire’s potential to normalise trade and regional relations. However, the market’s volatility underscores its sensitivity to geopolitical events, with analysts cautioning that sustained stability depends on diplomatic progress.

The PSX’s performance also aligns with broader economic initiatives, such as the upcoming Budget 2025 tax reforms, which could further boost investor confidence.
