  "textContent": "The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 index continued its bullish momentum on Wednesday, surging by over 7,400 points during intraday trade.\n\nThe KSE-100 index climbed by 7,461.58 points, or 5.02 per cent, to stand at 156,204.89 from the previous close of 148,743.31.\n\nOn Tuesday, the KSE-100 had climbed by 1,900.34 points, marking a recovery after witnessing a meltdown on Monday.\n\nTopline Securities Ltd had attributed the rebound to signs of de-escalation and intensifying diplomatic efforts. It highlighted Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar’s visit to China to engage key stakeholders in the ongoing peace efforts for the US-Israeli war on Iran.\n\nOn the macroeconomic front, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) maintained an active presence in the foreign exchange market, with cumulative net interventions of $12.4bn between June 2024 and December 2025, including $1bn in December alone. The move reflects efforts to stabilise the currency and bolster foreign exchange reserves.\n\n* * *\n\n_More to follow_",
