The KSE-100 index gained 3,748.40 points (2.08 per cent) to close at 184,050.10. The benchmark index traded in green the entire session, gradually witnessing gains from an intraday low of 180,565.83 at 9:35am. The market had staged a recovery rally on Tuesday, propelling KSE-100 above the 180,000 mark and helping the market close FY25-26 with a stellar performance. Awais Ashraf, director of research at AKD Securities, linked today\u2019s investor confidence to \u201cbelow market expectations\u201d inflation figures for June. Pakistan\u2019s consumer price index (CPI) rose 11.1pc year-on-year in June, easing from 11.7pc in May and coming within the government\u2019s forecast range of 11pc-12pc, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday. On a month-on-month basis, CPI fell 0.3pc in June, compared with a 0.5pc increase in May and a 0.2pc rise in June last year. Ashraf noted that the inflation figures \u201creinforced the view that inflationary pressures\u201d were continuing to subside. \u201cExpectations of monetary easing have strengthened investor sentiment, as inflation is projected to remain within the State Bank of Pakistan\u2019s target range in FY27 due to a decline in oil prices following the temporary settlement between the US and Iran,\u201d he added.
