The index was up 3.18 per cent from its previous close of 155,777.21 points, reaching an intraday high of 160,731.75 points.\n\nThis comes after the index steadily climbed upto 3,815.48 points by 11:37am and 2,000 points by 10:30am. So far, the session has shown lower volatility than earlier trading days this week, with the market maintaining steady gains and experiencing only limited pullbacks.\n\nTrading activity has also remained healthy, with total volume recorded at 193,329,659 shares and a traded value of Rs14,143,210,275.\n\nAmong the most actively traded stocks, Unity Foods Limited led the list, rising 4.41pc to Rs9.95 on a volume of 39,887,240 shares.
