Karachi: The KSE-100 Index, a benchmark of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, experienced a notable upward movement, closing the session with a substantial gain of 984 points at 143,037. Despite the strong performance, trading volumes dwindled by 25% compared to the previous session, suggesting a decline in market participation.

Throughout the session, the index reached an intraday high of 1,228 points, demonstrating a robust start and sustained momentum over the trading hours. However, the index concluded the day 2.2% below its upper Bollinger Band. The narrowing of the Bollinger Bands by 6.98% indicates a period of reduced volatility in the market.

In the past ten sessions, the KSE-100 Index recorded six gains and four losses, culminating in a net of two positive closings. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 77.9, reveals overbought conditions, signaling that the index is significantly above its neutral level.
