KSE-100 Surges Past 1,000 Points as Market Looks Past 50bps Rate Hike
The KSE-100 index advanced significantly by 0.88% on the last trading day to close at 164,467.2, staging a strong recovery of over 1,000 points from intraday lows despite the State Bank of Pakistan raising the policy rate by 50bps to 12%. Investors shrugged off monetary tightening concerns, buoyed by positive geopolitical developments and rising foreign exchange reserves. With week buys remaining closed due to the broader market resting below its 200-day average, participants continue to focus on selective large-cap resilience and liquid earnings announcements.
What it is doing differently: In accordance with lesson 1, base confidence is kept near 50-52% to avoid overconfidence, while incorporating selective momentum in liquid banking stocks per lesson 4.
