<ul><li><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;">The KSE-100 Index closed flattish at day-end, with the benchmark
Index Inched up by 75 points to close at 147,005. Gains were fuelled by strong
corporate earnings, robust remittances, and optimism over US Pakistan investment
ties following a new trade pact. Institutional buying and improving macro
indicators, including a stable rupee and progress on circular debt, lifted
sentiment. While short-term corrections are possible, the outlook remains
bullish as foreign inflows, fiscal reforms, and export prospects gain traction
amid easing geopolitical tensions.</span></li></ul>
