The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a remarkable rebound on October 14, 2025, as the KSE-100 Index surged by over 4,200 points in a single trading session. This significant jump followed the announcement of a tariff agreement between Pakistan and the United States, sparking a wave of investor optimism and renewed market confidence.
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb revealed the breakthrough after successful trade discussions in Washington, noting that the deal aims to boost bilateral trade, attract foreign investment, and strengthen Pakistan’s economic ties with the U.S.
The positive news fueled heavy buying across banking, energy, and technology sectors, pushing trading volumes to record highs. Market analysts said the rally reflects growing confidence in Pakistan’s economic trajectory and the government’s efforts toward international cooperation and fiscal reforms.
Experts predict that the new agreement will reduce trade barriers, open export opportunities, and help stabilize Pakistan’s economy, which has faced multiple challenges in recent years.
The sharp rise marks one of the biggest single-day gains in recent months, restoring momentum to the PSX and signaling the potential for sustained economic growth through global partnerships and reform-driven progress.
