While India was throwing confetti at 24,700 Nifty, across the border, Karachi’s KSE-100 Index just hit the “ctrl+Z” of financial destruction.

After last week’s war-induced tandoori crash, today PSX made a comeback so dramatic that even Bollywood producers are jealous.

🔥 KSE-100: Ban Gaya Kingfisher Airlines, But In Reverse

• 📈 +9,929 points
• 💥 +9.26% Surge
• 🛑 Trading Halted: Because yes, Pakistan hit a “too much happiness” circuit breaker.

📜 What Just Happened?

➕ Ceasefire:

Pakistan’s stock market whispered “bhai jaan, shanti rakho” and investors heard ka-ching!

💰 IMF’s Weekend Shagun:

Pakistan got another bailout tranche. Basically, a delayed salary from the world’s strictest boss.

🎉 Retail Investor Mood:

“War khatam, now let’s buy Meezan Bank, OGDC, aur thoda Fauji Cement bhi.”

🏦 Sector Showsha: Every Share was Like “Me Too!”

📉 Wait, Why Was It Even Down Before?

• Last week, PSX was falling like a lehenga on a windy day.
• KSE-100 tanked 12% in 5 days as war fears gave investors a collective heartburn.
• Now, they’ve popped a few Tulsi antacids and are back with bigger lungs.

💡 EduInvesting Philosophy:

📍 Pakistan Stock Market = Emotional Investor in a Toxic Relationship.

One day:
“Main toot gaya hoon yaar, sab khatam.”
Next day:
“She texted me back. Bro, I’m buying a house.”

🧙 Predictions:

• Tomorrow: If peace holds and IMF money lands, PSX might throw another mujra.
• This Week: Volatility = zindagi. Trade accordingly, ya trade nahi karna.
• Next Month: Depends if politicians can behave for more than 14 minutes.

🧠 Moral of the Story:

• Never underestimate PSX’s mood swings.
• One ceasefire = 10,000 point rally.
• Imagine what a Netflix subscription could do.
