Karachi: The KSE-100 Index is expected to sustain its recent upward trajectory as investor attention shifts toward improving economic indicators and easing geopolitical tensions, according to a recent press release. The developments are likely to bolster investor confidence and could lead to monetary easing by the year's end.

According to AKD Securities Limited, stronger external inflows, a tight fiscal policy, and moderating inflation are contributing factors that could enhance the case for a return to single-digit interest rates. Additionally, foreign investors have turned net buyers after 23 months, a trend supported by better macroeconomic conditions and the appreciation of the Pakistani Rupee over the past 13 months.
