      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The bullish momentum on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) continued on Tuesday, pushing the KSE-100 Index to a record close of 149,771 points.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Strong institutional inflows, particularly in the banking and cement sectors, fueled investor confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to a Topline analyst, cement sales are gaining traction in August 2025, with earnings expected to surpass market forecasts, further supporting the rally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the session, the benchmark index touched an intraday high of 150,323 points, surging 2,127 points, before settling at an all-time closing high of 149,771 points — an increase of 1,572 points, or 1.06%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Index heavyweights, including BAHL, UBL, LUCK, MEBL, and ENGRO, contributed a combined 1,306 points to the upward trajectory, driving the record-breaking performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Market activity remained lively, with a total traded volume of 806 million shares and a robust traded value of Rs48.3 billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WTL led the volume chart, with 52 million shares changing hands during the session.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday, the PSX experienced a significant rally, with the KSE-100 Index closing at 148,196.42 points.&lt;/p&gt;
