      <title>Historic milestone achieved as PSX surpasses 120,000 points</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330409999/historic-milestone-achieved-as-psx-surpasses-120000-points</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) crossed the 120,000 points mark for the first time on the last day of the trading week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trading began with a surge of over 1,800 points, propelling the PSX’s 100 index to a record high of 120,500 points. This impressive gain highlights the continuing bullish trend in the market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his satisfaction with this historic rise, emphasizing that the increase of 1,800 points in a single day reflects growing confidence among traders and investors in the government’s economic strategies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also noted that recent reductions in electricity rates would not only provide relief to domestic consumers but would also benefit businesses and industries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Prime Minister pointed out that the improvement in economic indicators and the overall business environment over the past year can be attributed to the government’s effective policies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He reiterated the government’s commitment to fostering a positive environment for business and investment in Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
